The Milwaukee Bucks managed to keep their season alive with a dominant 115-92 victory over the Indiana Pacers in Game 5. However, both teams faced uncertainties heading into Game 6.
Damian Lillard is set to make his return for Game 6 after missing the past two games due to an Achilles injury. On the other hand, Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out for Game 6 with a calf strain, with Bucks coach Doc Rivers considering both players as game-time decisions.
Antetokounmpo has been sidelined since April 9 with the calf strain, while Lillard re-aggravated his Achilles injury in Game 3, with his timeline for return still unclear. Despite sounding less optimistic about their availability prior to Game 5, Rivers is hopeful that at least one of his star players will be able to take the court for Game 6.
In their absence, role players for the Bucks have stepped up to make significant contributions, helping the team stay competitive in the series. The Bucks are determined to continue fighting and stay alive in the series against the Pacers, as they look to advance to the next round of the playoffs.
As the Bucks and Pacers prepare for a crucial Game 6, all eyes will be on the potential return of Lillard and Antetokounmpo, as both teams look to secure a spot in the next round of the playoffs. Stay tuned to Forever Sports Online for the latest updates on this developing story.
