Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined for Bucks-Pacers Game 4

Milwaukee Bucks Face Tough Challenge in Game 4 without Lillard and Antetokounmpo”.

The Milwaukee Bucks will be facing the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 without their two star players, Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, as they are both sidelined with injuries. Lillard aggravated an Achilles injury in Game 3 and is wearing a walking boot, while Antetokounmpo will miss his sixth consecutive game due to a calf strain.

Head coach Doc Rivers confirmed that both players would be out for the critical game on Sunday. This leaves the Bucks at a significant disadvantage, especially after losing a close Game 3 in overtime that gave the Pacers a 2-1 series lead. With Lillard injured late in regulation and unable to score in overtime, the Pacers secured the win with an and-1 floater from Tyrese Haliburton.

In the absence of Lillard and Antetokounmpo, the Bucks will rely on increased production from players like Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, and Brook Lopez. Middleton had been averaging 27 points per game during the playoffs before getting injured in Game 3, but he is expected to return for Game 4. Portis had been playing well off the bench, scoring 10 points in just eight minutes of play against the Pacers in Game 3. Lopez had been providing some much-needed inside presence for Milwaukee’s struggling offense.

It is unclear when Lillard or Antetokounmpo will be able to return to the court, but the Bucks will have to find a way to compete against the Pacers without their two best players in Game 4. Milwaukee has struggled without them on
