Milwaukee Bucks star point guard Damian Lillard exited in the second quarter of Sunday night’s NBA Playoffs game against the Indiana Pacers at Fiserv Forum with an apparent injury. Lillard had to be helped off the court and into the locker room, as the Bucks trailed Indiana in the first period.

Lillard appeared to suffer a lower-body injury while going after a miss by teammate and Bucks shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. The nine-time NBA All-Star tapped the ball in Trent’s direction before falling to the ground in pain. He stayed down on the floor, unable to get back on defense. He was also seen grabbing the back of his left leg

Lillard is also done for the rest of Game 4, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.

“Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard will not return tonight against the Indiana Pacers, league sources tell me. Injury potentially severe,” Haynes shared in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

It can be recalled that Lillard missed several games late in the 2024-25 NBA regular season and the first game of the Pacers series because of a calf issue.
