  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Doc Rivers said Friday that Lillard (concussion) probably won't play in Saturday's game against the Hornets, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. The superstar has missed the Bucks' last two games due to the league's concussion protocols, and he can be considered doubtful for Saturday's matchup until Milwaukee releases an official injury report. With AJ Green (shoulder) and Ryan Rollins (shoulder) unlikely to play, Gary Trent and Pat Connaughton are candidates for increased roles if Lillard is unable to suit up once again.

• Bucks' Damian Lillard: Ruled out for Tuesday

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors after entering the league's concussion protocol, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports. Lillard logged 36 minutes in Sunday's 113-107 loss to the Celtics, but he reportedly took a shot to the head near the end of the third quarter and was evaluated further Monday after experiencing headaches and dizziness, which resulted in the diagnosis of a concussion, per NBA reporter Chris Haynes. Lillard has a chance to be cleared in time for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, though he'd first need to pass through the league's concussion protocol. Look for AJ Green, Ryan Rollins and Pat Connaughton to pick up the slack until Lillard gets the green light to suit up.

• Bucks' Damian Lillard: Struggles from deep in loss

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard chipped in 14 points (4-15 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six assists, four rebounds and three steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-107 loss to Boston. The All-Star tied Derrick White and Jayson Tatum for the game high in assists while tying AJ Green for the team high in steals, though Lillard struggled from beyond the arc in the loss. The sharpshooter has produced a fairly solid start to the season, during which he has averaged 26.0 points, 6.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds across 35.8 minutes per game while shooting 44.4 percent from the field in 10 regular-season appearances. However, he's shot only 5-for-23 from three-point range over his last three games. The 34-year-old has scored 30 or more points five times this season, and with the exception of a few poor outings, Lillard's scoring and volume remain top-tier.
