Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (Achilles) are both working to try and make a return vs. Indiana for Game 6 tonight, but still unclear if either will be able.
Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are both trying to work and aiming for a return in Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers tonight. However, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that it's still uncertain whether either will be able to play.
In Game 5 of their Eastern Conference first-round series, both Antetokounmpo and Lillard were sidelined.
Despite their absence, the Bucks managed to secure a victory, making them the first NBA team ever to win a postseason game without their top two scorers from the regular season.
Antetokounmpo has been dealing with a strained left calf throughout the series, sidelining him entirely so far. Meanwhile, Lillard suffered an Achilles tendon injury during the Bucks' 121-118 loss in Game 3 last Friday.
As the Bucks currently trail 2-3 in the series, the potential return of Antetokounmpo and Lillard could significantly boost the team's performance in do-or-die Game 6.
