Damian Lillard, the eight-time All-Star point guard for the Milwaukee Bucks, played through calf tension during the NBA Cup championship but is now sidelined due to a reported calf strain. His availability for upcoming games remains uncertain as the Bucks face the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bucks head coach Doc Rivers provided a cautious update, indicating that while the strain doesn’t seem severe, the team will prioritize Lillard's long-term health over immediate play.
