Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard will be sidelined indefinitely after suffering a torn Achilles. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Lillard is in "good spirits" and is "motivated on attacking his rehab": Lillard's availability for the start of 2025-26 is now in doubt because of the injury's severity.

The Pacers, who beat Milwaukee 4-2 in the first round last year, can eliminate the Bucks again by winning Game 5 on Tuesday in Indianapolis. The Bucks have lost eight straight road playoff games and the last five of those defeats have come at Indiana.
