Rivers says Lillard is out there doing his pre-game. Said he doesn’t know if either Lillard or Antetokounmpo will play yet but neither has been ruled out. – 5:01 PM

Both Knicks or Sixers would be favorites against Indy. Not being able to close out Mil without Giannis and Dame playing is embarrassing. Tho Doc is obviously a top 3 coach when he has no stars. I’d love his fit in Wash. or Det. – 2:49 PM

Dice @InStreetClothes que el desgarre de sóleo (pantorrilla/gemelo) en la NBA requiere un promedio de 17 días de recuperación.
Si aplicamos ese promedio, Kristaps Porzingis se perdería la segunda vuelta de playoffs.
Giannis lleva tres semanas fuera. Veremos en el caso de KP. pic.twitter.com/wafITerHWO – 6:28 PM

That might have been the most remarkable game in Bucks history. And that isn’t hyperbole.
Nobody, and I mean nobody, on the planet expected the severely undermanned Bucks to beat the Pacers without Antetokounmpo and Lillard.
Truly an epic performance by the Bucks. – 2:34 PM

More on this storyline
Scott Agness: Bucks upgraded Damian Lillard (right Achilles) from doubtful to questionable on the 12:30 report for tonight’s game. He sat out the past two games. The Pacers lead the series 3-2. -via Twitter @ScottAgness / May 2, 2024
Jamal Collier: The Bucks have listed both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard as doubtful for Game 6 on Thursday -via Twitter @JamalCollier / May 1, 2024
Lillard, who has missed the past two games with an Achilles injury, shed the walking boot he was wearing over the weekend. He did some shooting on the court before Tuesday’s game, but Wednesday will be his first complete workout since he reaggravated the injury in Game 4, an issue he had been dealing with in the final weeks of the regular season. Antetokounmpo did not do much on the court Tuesday, according to Rivers. But on Sunday he ran on the court for the first time since he strained his left calf three weeks ago. He has not played since April 9. -via ESPN / May 1, 2024
By extending the series, the Bucks have given Antetokounmpo and Lillard a chance to play in the next game. Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers said both players are scheduled to work out on the court during the off day Wednesday. “I think they’re very, very, very close,” Rivers said. -via ESPN / May 1, 2024
