I think @fanduelsn_wi does a great job in tough situations. There was no sugar coating, and it was also shown to him to go to the locker room even during the live action. Appreciate the gravity of the moment. @lisabyington and @olskool888 and the team's good job. – 11:02 pm


After such an amazing game, the Nobles and the Bucks had this bubble, and it was a bubble. Totally depressed. – 10:49 pm

Myles Turner Carrying Pacers Score
and 11-0 Pacers have half the advantage in quick rest
The injury of the lady completely made the series completely disappear (as it was this era of the Milwaukee Bucks) – 10:44 pm

The Pacers led 63-52 at the break with three double scorers. They had four in the last game. Turner scored nine points in their first 13.
Antetokounmpo has only 8, and his first FTS has 3.3 seconds left. Lillard competes.
Pacers are in the main position to catch the series – 10:43 pm

Lillard knew immediately. He didn't even try to get up. He had previously dealt with the left-wing Achilles issue and was missing in the series against Indiana last year. You have to imagine missing all the time in the DVT on the right, which means he has no normal state. – 10:30 pm

Games 3 and 4 were the first games of the entire season, and neither Giannis nor his wife were reported for injuries before the match. so much…… – 10:23 pm

Doc Rivers won the 2008 championship and has suffered serious injuries in almost every playoff since. – 10:21 pm


Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard will not return to the Indiana Pacers tonight, league sources told me. The injury may be serious. – 10:09 pm

If we are worried about the real Damian Lillard’s 34-year-old comeback. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson both recovered, but were two years old when the injury occurred. The record of senior players is difficult – 10:04 pm

Sadly, the most likely fatal weakness of dame. Cruel to him and the Bucks. It was so hard for him.

Contactless damage by Damian Lillard. Grasp the back of your left foot immediately and it certainly looks like a possible Achilles tendon injury. – 9:56 pm


Damian Lillard somehow recovered from the blood clots fast enough to return to the playoffs.
@jimowczarski told @thejaxshow and @darthamin that he couldn't believe the turnaround. pic.x.com/cngboapfxs – 7:32 pm
More information about the storyline
Myles Turner scored 23 points, and the Indiana Pacers won a 129-103 title Sunday night, with the Milwaukee Bucks leading 3-1 in their Eastern Conference playoff series, who lost Damian Lillard to reduce the damage on their lower left leg. The Pacers can win Game 5 of Game 5 in Indianapolis on Tuesday, eliminating Milwaukee in the first round. The Bucks lost eight games in eight straight playoff games, with the last five losings in Indiana. Milwaukee may have to try to end the winning streak without Lillard. -VIA ESPN / April 28, 2025
The team announced via social media that he would not be back, and the Bucks continued to lose, falling to a 3-1 hole in a seventh best series. “I'll know right away,” Rivers said. “I feel bad for him, you know, that guy is trying to come back for his team, you know, I just feel bad for him.” – New York Times / April 28, 2025
