The Milwaukee Bucks will continue to be paralyzed in terms of offense when they travel to the Chicago Bulls’ turf as Damian Lillard is confirmed out by the team.
This will be the third game that Dame will miss, his last game being the Emirates NBA Cup finals win.
CBS Sports wrote:
“Lillard (calf) is doubtful for Monday’s game against the Bulls, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
“Lillard is in danger of missing his third consecutive outing while he deals with a right calf strain. In the likely event that the star point guard is sidelined, AJ Green, Gary Trent and Ryan Rollins could all see an uptick in playing time.”
Lillard, who earlier suggested that they have figured things out as a team is a huge loss for the Bucks as his absence means losing his 25.7 points per game as well as 7.5 assists, which is the most within the team.
Giannis Antetokounmpo getting patient with Damian Lillard
Antetokounmpo likewise did not play in win against the Washington Wizards.
He could return against the Bulls as he was listed probably. As for the absence of his partner, he is being patient.
He believes Dame’s injury should be treated with extra care and it does not matter if they struggle because of it.
“The No. 1 thing is for Dame to be healthy,” Antetokounmpo said via The Athletic.
“I think when we are a healthy team, we are a totally different team. We are a team to be scared of, but there’s no thought in my head of, “Oh, Dame’s gotta get back quick.” I don’t care if we lose five in a row. I really believe in our abilities. I believe that no matter where we end up in the East, we have a chance to compete while we’re healthy.”
