The Milwaukee Bucks will be shorthanded heading into Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Raptors with Damian Lillard being out.

According to multiple reports, headlined by Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, Lillard has entered the concussion protocol. The reason why is due to taking a hit to the head during the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Boston Celtics.

The 34-year-old experienced headaches and dizziness, with tests later uncovering that he did indeed suffer a concussion.

Despite being out for Tuesday’s game, and being in protocol, there is a possibility Lillard can be a “go” for Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Pistons.

This season, Lillard is averaging 26.0 points off 44.4% from the field, 4.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists in ten games.

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Milwaukee Bucks have no interest at all in trading their superstar player, despite growing speculations of Giannis Antetokounmpo wanting out.

A number of teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat have shown public interest in Antetokounmpo.

“Teams have let the Bucks know in recent months they would make an offer for the Greek Freak if that day ever comes. But those are incoming calls, not outgoing and it’s likely to remain that way,” writes Brian Windhorst.  

“The East doesn’t look that formidable right now. If I were them I would play the long game and believe in Giannis and Dame,” an East executive told ESPN. “The problem is I don’t think they’re beating Boston even if they hit their stride.”

He’s under contract until the year 2028-29, but has a player option the year prior, so fans could see him gone out of Milwaukee in the 2027-28 offseason. This is all based on him remaining with the organization.

As of right now, the 2-6 Bucks have no desires to make any changes. Their next game is Friday evening against the New York Knicks.

According to Fox40’s Sean Cunningham, the Sacramento Kings have decided to offer former Milwaukee Bucks player a work out before their training camp.

Jae Crowder is expected to compete for an open roster spot, as the 34-year-old is one of the top free agents still available on the market.

Last season, he started in 25 games (appearing in 50 total), averaging 6.2 points off 42.2% from the field and 34.9% from deep.
