Everyone Feels Awful for Bucks Fans Before Elimination Game vs. Pacers

Facing elimination in a must-win Game 5 against the Pacers this Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks will be without both of their superstars - Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

Each have been ruled out due to injury ahead of tonight's pivotal matchup.

Lillard, 33, re-aggravated an existing Achilles injury in Game 3, forcing him to sit out in Game 4. Antetokounmpo, meanwhile, has yet to return from a calf strain he suffered on Apr. 9.

The Bucks landed Lillard in a blockbuster three-team trade back in September, giving Milwaukee what it hoped was a lethal one-two punch in Dame Time and the Greek Freak.

Unfortunately, though, injuries suffered at the absolute worst time by both may contribute to an early postseason exit for Milwaukee.

"Genuinely feel awful for bucks fans," one NBA fan writes.

"I just hate injuries," another fan said.

"I’m empty inside at this point Would love it if we somehow pulled out a miracle here but by now I’m just ready for this season to end," Gordon said.

NBA fans will likely see a lot of Khris Middleton for Milwaukee tonight with both Lillard and Giannis unable to play.

Tipoff is set for 9:30 p.m. ET.
