Damian Lillard is coming off his second year for the Milwaukee Bucks.

The All-Star point guard averaged 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 44.8% from the field and 37.6% from the three-point range in 58 games.

However, he had his season cut short (in the NBA playoffs) with a major injury.

Via ESPN's Shams Charania (on April 28): "Just in: Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with a torn left Achilles tendon, sources tell ESPN. MRI today revealed the severity. A devastating end to his season."

This week, Lillard made a heartfelt post to Instagram that had over 99,000 likes.

He wrote: "Forever"
