Damian Lillard of the Bucks ruled out for Tuesday's game against Raptors due to concussion protocol

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard has entered concussion protocol and will be sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

The Bucks announced the update on the seven-time All-NBA guard’s status Monday.

The 34-year-old Lillard is averaging 26 points, 6.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds.

Milwaukee already was without three-time All-Star forward Khris Middleton, who hasn’t made his 2024-25 debut after undergoing surgery on each of his ankles.

Bucks forward and two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as probable as he deals with right patella tendinopathy. Milwaukee’s Andre Jackson Jr. (left hip pointer) and Gary Trent Jr. (lower back spasms) also are probable.

Tuesday’s game matches the teams that owned the two worst records in the NBA entering Monday night’s action. 

The Bucks are 2-8

lost four in a row.
