Lillard is available and will play in Game 6. The Bucks trail 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Lillard has missed the past two games with a right Achilles injury.
After suffering no setbacks during his workout on Thursday, Lillard is good to go for Game 6.
Lillard has been virtually unstoppable on offense this series, averaging 32.3 points in three games.
While Lillard will play, Antetokounmpo is out for tonight’s game. Like Lillard, Antetokounmpo worked out on Thursday.
However, Antetokounmpo will not play in Game 6. If the Bucks manage to win and force a game 7, there is a chance Antetokounmpo could return.
Antetokounmpo has missed every game of the series due to a calf injury suffered on April 9.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
