Damian Lillard returned to the Milwaukee Bucks after a concussion, making a game-winning layup against the Houston Rockets. This marked his first concussion despite a history of injuries in his 13-year NBA career.

Although he struggled with his shooting, Lillard's late-game performance showcased his clutch ability, drawing comparisons to Ray Allen from Bucks coach Doc Rivers. Lillard expressed frustration during his recovery but was determined to contribute to his team's success.
