According to reports, there is some pessimism surrounding Damian Lillard’s availability for Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. The eight-time All-Star was forced to sit out Milwaukee’s Game 4 loss on Sunday due to an Achilles injury, and it now appears that he is heading in the same direction for Tuesday’s clash.

The Bucks have officially listed Lillard as doubtful to play in Game 5 due to tendinitis in his right Achilles. It’s the same injury that forced him to it out on Sunday, and it seems like this is going to be the case again on Tuesday night Milwaukee looks to stave off elimination.
