Bucks' Damian Lillard out for game 4 against the Pacers
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - APRIL 26: Damian Lillard #0 of the Milwaukee Bucks reacts after being injured in the first quarter against the Indiana Pacers during game three of the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on April 2
MILWAUKEE - On Sunday, April 28, the Milwaukee Bucks confirmed that Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo are both listed as out for game four.
Damian Lillard underwent an MRI to determine the severity of his Achilles injury, and the Milwaukee Bucks could be without the star guard for Game 4 of their playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, coach Doc Rivers said Saturday.
Lillard is in a walking boot. He was clearly limping at times during the Bucks' Game 3 loss at Indiana on Friday. Milwaukee trails Indiana 2-1 ahead of Game 4.
The Lillard situation raises the possibility of the Bucks being without both him and Giannis Antetokounmpo on Sunday. Antetokounmpo has not played in the series while dealing with a calf injury that he suffered late in the regular season.

Rivers said it's possible that Antetokounmpo gets cleared for Game 4, though stopped well short of indicating that the Bucks were expecting that to happen. He said Antetokounmpo will go through a "hard workout" and from there a determination will be made.
