NBA fans were blindsided Tuesday morning when it was revealed the Milwaukee Bucks had waived veteran point guard Damian Lillard, who notably tore his Achilles during the Bucks' first-round playoff exit vs. the Indiana Pacers. And according to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Lillard was just as shocked by the development as everybody else.
Speaking on Tuesday's edition of NBA TV, Haynes said he spoke with Lillard briefly that morning and noted that the point guard was "surprised" to hear the news.
