MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard won’t play Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards because of a groin strain.
PROGRAM NOTE: The Bucks-Wizards game will be on WIZM, beginning with pregame at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. Tune in on 96.7 FM / 1410 AM / 106.7 FM (north of Onalaska).
The Bucks issued an injury report Monday that ruled the seven-time all-NBA guard out.
This will be the second straight game that Lillard has missed. He sat out Milwaukee’s 122-113 victory at Atlanta on Saturday for personal reasons.
The Bucks have gone 1-5 in the games Lillard hasn’t played this season.
Milwaukee’s injury report for Tuesday’s game at Washington also lists two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo (left hamstring), Khris Middleton (left ankle sprain) and Patrick Beverley (right wrist sprain) as probable.
