Damian Lillard Possibly InJured

Milwaukee Bucks Superstar Damian Lillard has been listed on the injury report ahead of their next game.

Damian Lillard Injury

Since joining the Bucks, Lillard has participated in 12 out of their 14 regular-season games so far. However, after featuring in the last five consecutive games for the team, it seems that he might miss his third game this season.

Reportedly, Lillard is suffering from a left oblique strain, which has led to his inclusion on the injury report before the Bucks' upcoming fixture against Eastern Conference rivals, the Boston Celtics.


The severity of this strain remains unconfirmed, as Lillard is listed as "probable." This designation suggests that while it's likely he will play, there remains a chance he might sit out. The Bucks' medical staff will probably reassess his condition closer to the tip-off before making a final decision.

Eastern Conference Showdown

Should Damian Lillard miss this game, it would undoubtedly be a huge disappointment for fans. Obviously, health takes precedence, but this marks the first meeting of the two Eastern Conference favorites this season.

Both teams adjusted their rosters significantly for the better during the offseason, earning recognition as the top two teams in the East. With stars like Antetokounmpo, Tatum, and Jaylen Brown, this game promises to be one of the most star-studded matchups of the season so far.

Moreover, it signifies Jrue Holiday's first game against his former team. Considering the Bucks traded Holiday for Lillard, the level of competition between the two will undoubtedly be intense as they seek to settle the score.

Currently, the Celtics are a -4.5 favourite.
