Damian Lillard Out for Bucks Due to Illness
Damian Lillard will not be playing for the Milwaukee Bucks due to an illness. This news was confirmed today, and it means Lillard will miss time on the court as he recovers. The team is hopeful that he can return soon, but his status remains out for now.
What It Means
Lillard’s absence is significant for the Bucks. He has been a key player, averaging 25.7 points per game this season. His shooting percentages are solid, with a field goal percentage of 45% and a three-point percentage of 37.1%. These stats show how important he is to the team’s offense.
The Bucks will need to rely more on their other point guards like Delon Wright, who averages 16.5 minutes and 2.9 points per game. While Wright and others step up, losing Lillard’s scoring and playmaking abilities might impact the team’s performance in upcoming games.
