The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a devastating blow to their roster on Sunday. All-star guard Damian Lillard left the game as early as possible after suffering a foot injury and was eventually diagnosed with the lower left horn tendon. The Bucks' season is in danger for the Indiana Pacers, which led 3-1 in the playoff series due to his recent injury.
The Bucks didn’t have one of their best options and they just returned to the roster after losing for a while due to a blood clot. In the mid-2024-25 NBA season, Lillard was diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in his right leg.
He missed the first game of the first round of the series and returned to the action in Game 2 of 123-115, where he scored 14 points.
After Lillard was injured, former player Chandler Parsons suggested that the Bucks consider rebuilding the team. Parsons said he would not be surprised if Milwaukee gave up All-star Giannis Antetokunimpo.
"If it was Achilles tear, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks were fully rebuilt," Parsons said, "I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks were fully rebuilt," Giannis shopping. ”
Parsons suggests that the Golden State Warriors are an organization that owns assets and can trade for Greek freaks.
"You hear all the noise, you hear 'Giannis, is he going to retire there?' Many people think he won't be, he will be shopping."

"Really shopping for Giannis … a team like Golden State has a lot of assets. This makes future decisions easier because of the severity of this injury."

Parsons noted that the series is not over yet. However, he believes the Bucks will start planning for their future for most of the 2025-26 season. Analysts say it's time for the Bucks and Antetokounmpo to discuss their future.
Since Lillard was injured, there has been a lot of talk about the future of Antetokounmpo. Many believe that the organization will facilitate the deal and start over without two MVPs.
