The Milwaukee Bucks visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. Damian Lillard is listed as questionable on the injury report. He is dealing with right soleus soreness.

He was listed as probable alongside his All-Star teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo before being downgraded to questionable. After going for 16 points on 6-of-18 attempts, four assists, and three against the Golden State Warriors, Lillard could end up sitting out on Thursday. Here’s everything we know about Damian Lillard’s injury and his playing status vs. the Lakers.

Damian Lillard has been ruled out for tonight’s showdown against the Lakers, according to Chris Haynes.

“Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard will be held out of tonight’s matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers to nurse calf soreness, sources tell me,” Haynes shared in a post on X before the game.

After losing to the Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Bucks are 5-5 in their last 10 games, while the Detroit Pistons are tied with Milwaukee for fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

The last time the Bucks beat the Lakers 126-106 in their previous meeting on March 13. Giannis Antetokounmpo led with 24 points on 8-of-17 shooting and 12 rebounds. Lakers’ Luka Doncic scored a season-high 45 points and finished with 11 rebounds. Austin Reaves added 28 points, eight rebounds, and three assists as Los Angeles will look to avenge that loss one week later.

Lillard has had a productive month but turned in lackluster performances in losses to the Thunder and Warriors. Perhaps a game off will put him on the right track, as his lingering injury may be hindering his play. As one half of the Bucks’ All-Star duo, Lillard also enjoys playing alongside Kevin Porter Jr., who is one player who may need to step up in Damian’s absence.

Lillard is averaging 23.0 points on 45.2% shooting, including 34.9% from deep, 5.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game for the Bucks in March. 10 games into March, the Bucks are 5-5. However, when it comes to the question of if Damian Lillard is playing tonight vs. the Lakers, the answer is most likely not.
