The equation will become even more complicated for Milwaukee with the package of Damian Lillard for the clash of the bottom of the Eastern Conference this evening, against Toronto. The Wisconsin franchise announced Monday that its leader had been placed in concussion protocol.
His withdrawal follows the last match lost against the Celtics, in which “Dame Time” was in difficulty in attack (14 points at 4/15 shooting in 36 minutes). It was at the end of the 3rd quarter that he was hit in the head, and he felt dizzy after the match.
According to Chris Hayneshis absence should be short, and he could even be dressed for the next game against the Pistons. To replace him at the lead, Doc Rivers should revive Delon Wright.
As a reminder, Milwaukee has not yet recovered Khris Middleton, who had surgery on both ankles this summer. Although reduced, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Andre Jackson Jr. (hip) and Gary Trent Jr. (back) should be able to hold their place. Milwaukee (2-8) and Toronto (2-9) currently occupy the bottom two spots in the East.
