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 2nd choice at the guard position, Cam Payne, as he is still in concussion protocol.
This will be just the 3rd 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 1st 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.
