Lillard aggravated his Achilles injury in Game 3 and sat out the last two as the Bucks fell behind 3-2. Prior to his injury, Lillard was putting on an offensive clinic, harkening back to his masterful performances in the playoffs with the Portland Trail Blazers. The All-NBA guard put up 32.3 points, 5.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per contest in the first three games. We will have to wait and see if Lillard will officially make his return to the court tonight in Indianapolis, so stay locked to our Twitter page for any further updates on Lillard or Giannis.
