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.
