Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to concussion-related symptoms sustained in a recent loss to the Boston Celtics. His absence is a significant blow to a struggling Bucks team that currently holds a 2-8 record, the second worst in the Eastern Conference. With Lillard sidelined, players like AJ Green and Ryan Rollins are expected to step up, although Rollins himself was injured during a game against the Toronto Raptors. The Bucks are aiming to improve their standing, currently at 12th in the East, and a win against the Detroit Pistons could elevate them to ninth. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging 31.6 points per game, is anticipated to take on an even larger offensive role in Lillard's absence. The Bucks are also without Khris Middleton as he recovers from ankle surgeries, adding to their challenges this season.
