The Milwaukee Bucks are uncertain about the availability of their star players, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard, for Game 6 against the Indiana Pacers. Despite their best efforts to recover, it remains unclear if either player will be able to take the court. As of the most recent injury report, Antetokounmpo is listed as “doubtful” while Lillard is “questionable.”
The team will not have a pregame shootaround and head coach Doc Rivers will address the media before the game. The Pacers currently lead 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Antetokounmpo has been out since the regular season with a calf strain, while Lillard missed Games 4 and 5 due to an Achilles tendon strain.
Rivers expressed optimism about the players’ chances of returning, stating that they were very close to being ready. Despite being without their top performers, the Bucks have managed to keep up with the Pacers in the series. They won Game 1 and pushed them hard in Game 3 before losing in overtime. The team rallied in Game 5 to stave off elimination, thanks in large part to strong showings from Bobby Portis and Khris Middleton.
Lillard has been instrumental in filling the void left by Antetokounmpo’s absence during the playoffs. If he returns for Game 6, it would provide a significant boost to the team as they look to even things up and potentially advance to the next round
