Damian Lillard Injury Update: Latest on Bucks point guard’s status vs Grizzlies (April 3)
It is unclear if Damian Lillard will be available for Wednesday’s game. He was absent in the Milwaukee Bucks’ previous two games due to personal reasons and a groin injury. The Bucks will be eager to have him back on the court, especially after their 117-113 loss to the then 14-win Washington Wizards on Tuesday. Without their All-Star point guard, they have a record of 1-5 this season.
Despite the Milwaukee Bucks’ struggles against opponents with a. 500 record or below, they still hope to be at full strength against the depleted Memphis Grizzlies, who seem to have their number. Despite a slightly underwhelming debut with Milwaukee, Lillard has made a significant impact on the team’s offense, especially in crucial late-game situations.
Latest Update on Damian Lillard’s Injury: Will He Be Available Against the Grizzlies?
Although Damian Lillard may potentially play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, Doc Rivers stated after Tuesday’s defeat that the star player could make a comeback. Despite this, Lillard’s availability is still uncertain and he may not be confirmed until right before the game. Rivers assured that Lillard’s groin injury is not a major concern, but the team will proceed with caution.
The Mystery of Damian Lillard’s Decline
Despite suffering a groin strain, Lillard played through the pain during Thursday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, where the Milwaukee Bucks ultimately lost 107-100. Throughout the match, he endured multiple hits, including a knock to his left leg in the first half and a cut on his lip in the third quarter.
He left the game at the seven-minute mark in the third quarter, but he later returned to play the final 12 minutes.
Damian Lillard’s Performance Against the Memphis Grizzlies
Despite facing the Memphis Grizzlies 35 times, Damian Lillard has consistently maintained an average of 22.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game. Additionally, he has emerged victorious in 15 of these matchups.
Despite recording 24 points, five rebounds, and seven assists, Lillard’s shooting performance was subpar in the previous game against the Bucks and Grizzlies. He only made 7 out of 21 shots, including 3 out of 13 from 3-point range. Despite the Grizzlies being without most of their starters and rotation players, Milwaukee still suffered a 113-110 loss.
