Damian Lillard Out Against Wizards Due to Hamstring Injury

The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Washington Wizards without star point guard Damian Lillard, who is sidelined due to a right hamstring injury. Lillard, who played 32 minutes in a recent victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, is being managed carefully as he ranks 11th in the NBA in scoring. Additionally, Bucks guard Taurean Prince has also been ruled out for the game. While two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to play, he will be on a minutes restriction after recently returning from a calf strain. The game marks the first time Khris Middleton will play against the Bucks after his trade to the Wizards. The Bucks are also missing Bobby Portis, who is serving a 25-game suspension for a violation of the NBA's anti-drug policy.
