Lillard’s Bucks are down 3-2 in the series and facing elimination. They were down 3-1 in the series but won Game 5 despite not having Lillard or Giannis Antetokounmpo available. Antetokounmpo has yet to play in the series due to a calf injury. Lillard missed Game 5 due to an Achilles injury he aggravated during Game 4.
The Bucks won the NBA championship three seasons ago and earned the No. 3 seed in the East during the regular season. They are in danger of being eliminated by the 6-seed Pacers.
