The Milwaukee Bucks fell in Game 4 at home to the Indiana Pacers 129-103, and are now down 3-1 in the series. It was a rough game all around for Milwaukee, as they shot only 41% from the field, meanwhile the Pacers shot 60%.
In addition to losing their first home game of the playoffs, the team has gone viral in a way they'd prefer not to. After going up for an attempted rebound in the first quarter, Damian Lillard went down for what has been reported to be a left Achilles tear. When he went down, he was only helped off the court to the locker room by one teammate.
"The fear is Bucks star Damian Lillard suffered a left Achilles tear. Brutal circumstance after working himself back from a blood clot diagnosis that kept him out over a month," Haynes wrote.
After dealing with the blood clot, Lillard went through a lot to return to the team for the postseason. It is a bad look for nobody else on the team to offer help for him as he struggles to put any pressure on his left leg to exit the court. In fact, the one player that offered help was Kyle Kuzma. Even after he offered help, he walked away from Lillard since coaches were already there to escort him off the court.
With trade rumors surrounding the franchise, it raises even more concerns regarding the team's chemistry. Down 3-1 in the first round of the NBA Playoffs again, the odds are stacked against Milwaukee. This could be the third consecutive year the Bucks get eliminated in the opening round of postseason basketball. The fact that this video has gone viral and is being seen everywhere cannot be a good look for the team.
