MILWAUKEE (AP) — Damian Lillard took a small step forward Wednesday in his bid to be ready for the start of the Milwaukee Bucks’ Eastern Conference first-round playoff series with the Indiana Pacers.
Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Lillard got back on the practice floor and did some shooting and “all of the walk-through stuff.” Lillard hadn’t practiced on Tuesday after a sore left adductor bothered him the final weekend of the regular season.
The Bucks have Thursday off as they get ready for Game 1 of their playoff series Sunday at Milwaukee. Rivers expressed optimism that Lillard would be able to practice more fully on Friday.
Rivers did note that he also had expected the seven-time all-NBA guard to practice Tuesday before medical staff decided against it.
“I’m assuming,” Rivers said. “I would be surprised (if he doesn’t practice). I’ll put it that way.”
