Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard underwent an MRI today, which revealed a torn left Achilles tendon. This injury took place during the first quarter of last night’s game against Indiana.

Lillard is anticipated to be sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 Playoffs and will require surgery to repair the damage.

As reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “Lillard was injured in the first quarter of the game when he pushed off his left leg to collect an offensive rebound. His leg immediately buckled, and he fell to the floor, reaching for his lower leg. He remained seated until play was halted by a foul, after which he required help from Milwaukee coaches and teammates to leave the court.”
