On Sunday, the Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Indiana Pacers, who cruised to a 3-1 series lead. The first-round matchup will return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday, and the Pacers will hope to end the Bucks' season in front of their own fans.
In the first quarter of Game 4, Damian Lillard went down with a non-contact leg injury and did not return. Immediately, fans were prepared for the worst, and on Monday, their worst fears came true.

It was revealed that Lillard tore his Achilles tendon in his left heel, and he will be out for the entire offseason and, likely, all of next year.
Josh Hart, who played parts of two seasons next to Lillard on the Portland Trail Blazers before being traded to the New York Knicks, took to social media to share a message to his former teammate.
Before the Pacers and Bucks game, Hart was at the center of the NBA world after his last-second foul on Tim Hardaway Jr. was not called, resulting in the Knicks taking a commanding 3-1 lead in their series over the Detroit Pistons. However, as is the case with most career-altering injuries, fans and the league took a deep breath while waiting for news about Lillard.
With the devastating news, the Bucks are expected to fall in Game 5, and with their third first-round exit in a row, both Lillard and superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo might be traded away this offseason.
