US EditionBucks confirm Damian Lillard has a torn left Achilles tendon
- Damian Lillard tore his left Achilles tendon during Game 4 of the 2025 NBA first-round playoff series in Milwaukee on April 27.
- Lillard had recently returned after missing 15 games due to deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, contributing to his brief playoff presence before the injury.
- The injury occurred early in the first quarter when Lillard planted on his left foot, and he had to be helped off the court as he could not bear weight on his leg.
- An MRI confirmed the torn Achilles, ending Lillard’s 2025 playoff run as he prepares for surgery, while Bucks coach Doc Rivers stated, “It's not very promising.”
- Lillard’s absence leaves the Milwaukee Bucks trailing 3-1 in the series against the Pacers and facing elimination in Game 5 without their nine-time All-Star leader.
