On Tuesday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks will host the Toronto Raptors in Wisconsin.
For the game, the Bucks will be without one of their best players, as All-Star point guard Damian Lillard has been ruled out.
Lillard is averaging 26.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 44.4% from the field and 34.8% from the three-point range in ten games.
Via The Milwaukee Bucks: “Damian Lillard (concussion protocol) is out for tomorrow’s game.”
The Bucks have had an awful start to the season, so fans were shocked that the news keeps getting worse.
@GreekFreakHoops: “Just bought my tickets when does the pain end”
@DeerMuse: “Can we not have anything”
@TCIIIESQ: “When did this happen???”
@MalikThr33sly: “BRO WHAT?!”
@RipCityPac: “And it gets worse”
The Bucks are just 2-8 in their first ten games after most recently losing to the New York Knicks by a score 116-94.
Lillard finished the loss with 14 points, four rebounds, six assists and three steals while shooting 4/15 from the field and 1/8 from the three-point range in 36 minutes of playing time.
Chris Haynes reported more details about Lillard’s injury.
Via Haynes: “Sources: Damian Lillard received hit to head near end of third quarter against Celtics on Sunday. Experienced headaches and dizziness today. Tests confirmed a concussion. There’s a possibility he could be cleared by Wednesday’s game against Pistons.”
Following the Raptors, the Bucks will play their next game on Wednesday evening when they host the Detroit Pistons.
