Damian Lillard's already difficult year seemed to get even worse on Sunday night when the star Milwaukee Bucks guard went down with a non-contact injury during Game 4 of the Bucks' playoff series vs. the Indiana Pacers. The 34-year-old was helped off the court early in the contest and did not return to the action, with early reports saying he may have suffered an Achilles injury.
Considering all Dame did to battle back from a bout of deep vein thrombosis earlier this season, the fact that he's now dealing with this shortly after his return feels unfair, to say the least. It's also potentially devastating news for the Bucks' postseason ambitions, considering they're already losing the first-round series 3–1 and are now down an offensive star ahead of Game 5.
