Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard out for Game 4 in Bucks injury catastrophe

The Milwaukee Bucks are even more short-handed, with their season now hanging by a thread following a gut-punching addition to their already worrisome injury report.

Already without superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo due to a calf strain suffered on April 9 , the team will miss both he and All-Star guard Damian Lillard for Sunday’s Game 4 against the Pacers, with Milwaukee trailing 2-1 in the series.

Lillard was hampered by an Achilles strain in the Bucks’ Game 3 loss.

The 33-year-old suffered the setback in the first quarter and temporarily exited to treat the Achilles before a quick return.

The injury aggravated a previous Achilles ailment, which head coach Doc Rivers noted following their 121-118 overtime loss in Game 3.

“I think it’s his Achilles again, so we’ll see,” Rivers said after the loss . “Honestly, Dame was really struggling. In the overtime, he literally said, ‘I’ll be the decoy. I just can’t go as far as explosion.’ So, I thought Dame just being out there was huge for us.”

The injury was bad enough to force him to miss some practices leading into the Bucks playoff run, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel .

With the Bucks missing their All-Star duo, the Bucks have moved to being 10-point underdogs for Game 4.

In NBA history, teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit to win the series only 13 times.

The most recent 3-1 comeback examples both came from the 2020 Denver Nuggets, the first to do it multiple times in one playoff run.

The Nuggets comeback from 3-1 to beat the Utah Jazz in Round 1 and did it again to stun the Los Angeles Clippers in Round 2 before falling to the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.
