Lillard (Achilles) has been ruled
out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.
ANALYSISAs expected, Lillard and
Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) have been downgraded from doubtful to out.
Khris Middleton (ankle) remains probable. Per
Shams Charania of The Athletic, Lillard had been playing through soreness in his Achilles over the last few weeks and aggravated the issue during the Bucks' Game 3 loss on Friday. The Bucks are officially listing Lillard's injury as right Achilles tendinitis.
Malik Beasley,
Andre Jackson and
AJ Green are all candidates to take on increased roles Sunday in Lillard's absence.
