Bucks' Damian Lillard Out for Game 4 Amid Severe Injury Concerns

Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard suffered a non-contact left leg injury during the first quarter of Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers, forcing him to leave the game and be ruled out for the remainder. Multiple sources report the injury as 'potentially severe,' with team insiders fearing a possible torn Achilles, which could require surgery and months of rehabilitation if confirmed. Lillard's injury is a significant blow to the Bucks' playoff hopes, especially as he had only recently returned from a blood clot in his right calf that sidelined him late in the season. The incident has heightened concerns about the team's ongoing playoff struggles and has sparked speculation about the future of both Lillard and star teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks were already trailing in the series, making Lillard's absence even more critical as they attempt to avoid another early postseason exit. Official details regarding the full extent of Lillard's injury are expected in the coming days.
