Damian Lillard, Milwaukee Bucks are Under Duress after slow start | First Things First

Andre Jackson Jr. - Downgraded to questionableJackson is questionable to play Friday against the Knicks due to a left hip contusion.

ImpactJackson has played in just two of Milwaukee's four games this season, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if he's ruled out ahead of Friday's matchup since he's currently buried down in the depth chart. He has played a combined 13 minutes in his previous two appearances.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Slated to play FridayAntetokounmpo (rest) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Knicks.

ImpactAntetokounmpo sat out Thursday's practice for rest purposes, but his absence won't impact his availability for Friday's matchup. He's averaged 24.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 31.0 minutes per game over his first four appearances of the season.

Precious Achiuwa - Ruled out ThursdayAchiuwa (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

ImpactAchiuwa was always considered a long shot to play due to the nature of the injury and the quick turnaround between games, so it's not surprising to see him miss a third game in a row. Jakob Poeltl and Chris Boucher will likely continue to receive extended minutes, while Achiuwa's next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Sunday.

Damian Lillard - Not on injury reportLillard (personal) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Knicks.

ImpactLillard was excused from Thursday's practice session while tending to a personal matter, but coach Adrian Griffin said he expected the point guard to be available Friday. Lillard wasn't included on the Bucks' initial injury report, so he should be available after averaging 21.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 33.0 minutes per game over his first four appearances of the season.

Damian Lillard - Doesn't practice ThursdayLillard didn't practice Thursday due to a personal matter but is expected to be back for Friday's game against the Knicks, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

ImpactCoach Adrian Griffin specified that Lillard's absence from practice was excused, and it doesn't seem likely that he'll be forced to miss any game action. After tallying just six points during Sunday's loss to Atlanta, Lillard has bounced back by averaging 20.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 33.0 minutes per game over his last two appearances.

Giannis Antetokounmpo - Misses practice, should play FridayAntetokounmpo was absent from Thursday's practice for rest purposes but is expected to play in Friday's game versus the Knicks, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel repo...

ImpactAntetokounmpo has yet to miss a game this season, but the Bucks are playing it cautiously with their superstar forward. However, Antetokoumpo is expected to suit up Friday and be the focal point of Milwaukee's offense alongside Damian Lillard (personal).
