There are growing concerns about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s availability for Game 1 of the playoff series against the Pacers, and now there are worries about his teammate Damian Lillard as well. Antetokounmpo is dealing with a left calf strain and has been unable to practice with the team, potentially causing him to miss part of the series. On the other hand, Lillard missed practice due to a sore left adductor muscle, with the team’s medical staff deciding to give him extra rest after scans showed no major issues. Despite playing through the discomfort in the last game, Lillard’s health is a top priority for the Bucks as they prepare for the postseason. Bobby Portis downplayed Lillard’s absence from practice, emphasizing that there is still time before the next game. Known for his playoff performances, Lillard’s contributions will be crucial for the Bucks, especially with uncertainty surrounding Antetokounmpo’s return.
