The franchise’s injury report for Monday night lists the 7-time all-NBA player as out for personal reasons. Milwaukee can’t count on 2^nd choice at the guard position, Cam Payne, as he is still in concussion protocol.

This will be just the 3^rd match that Damian has missed this campaign. Lillard was out for 2 matches at the beginning of November with a right calf problem.

The former Portland guard is averaging 25.1 points, almost 7 assists, and over 4 boards this campaign, his 1^st with the Bucks since the organization traded for him with the Trail Blazers.

Milwaukee has lost 3 of their last 4 matches in the NBA before today’s match against Utah, as their opponent has won 4 of their last 5 matches.
