In a surprising turn of events, Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo may be making a comeback for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first-round series. Lillard, who was originally listed as doubtful, has been upgraded to questionable, while Giannis still remains doubtful. Both players are working hard to be able to play, but it is still uncertain if they will be available.
Lillard has been struggling with a right Achilles injury, while Giannis has been sidelined with a calf injury since April 9. Coach Doc Rivers has described both players as being “very, very, very close” to returning to the court.
In their absence in Game 5, the Bucks managed to secure a victory against the Pacers with standout performances from Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis. This unexpected win has raised questions about the potential impact of Lillard and Giannis returning for Game 6.
Adrian Wojnarowski recently discussed the situation on “NBA Today,” highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the availability of the two star players. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if Lillard and Giannis will make their return in Game 6 and how their presence could potentially shift the momentum of the series. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story on World News Live.
