Summary
Damian Lillard of the Milwaukee Bucks sustained a left leg injury during the first quarter of Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, raising fears of a torn Achilles. This injury occurred while the Bucks were down 2-1 in the series, and Lillard had only recently returned to play after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right calf. The Bucks, facing ongoing injury challenges since their 2021 championship win, are likely to exit the playoffs in the first round for the third consecutive year.
