Lillard missed the playoffs in Game 4 due to injury, suspected of having a torn left Achilles tendon


According to NBA veteran reporter Chris Haynes on Sunday, Bucks star Damian Lillard is suspected of having a torn left Achilles tendon. If the news is true, Lillard will miss the rest of the playoffs.


On April 27, local time, the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Indiana Pacers 103-129 in Game 4 of the Western Conference first round of the NBA playoffs, falling behind 1-3 in the series and losing the match point. To make matters worse, their star player Lillard suddenly fell to the ground without confrontation just 6 minutes into the game, and was then helped off the court by staff and teammates. ESPN reporter Shams Charania later added that Lillard will undergo an MRI on Monday.


The 34-year-old Lillard played 58 regular season games this season, averaging 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.21 steals per game, shooting 44.8% from the field and 37.6% from three-point range. He has been absent since March 18 due to deep vein thrombosis in his right calf and did not return to the court until G2 of the first round of the playoffs.


However, Lillard was in poor form after his comeback, making only 6 of 25 shots in two games, with a total of 21 points, 6 rebounds and 12 assists. He only contributed 2 rebounds and 2 assists in the 6 minutes before his injury, and his performance was still sluggish.
