Bucks' Damian Lillard Ruled Out for Tuesday's Game Against Raptors

Star Guard Enters Concussion Protocol

Lillard Suffered a Head Injury in Sunday's Win Over the Nets

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard has entered the league's concussion protocol and will miss Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors, the team announced Monday.

Lillard suffered a head injury in the Bucks' 112-100 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. He collided with Nets forward Kevin Durant in the third quarter and was forced to leave the game.

The Bucks said Lillard is experiencing concussion symptoms and will be re-evaluated in the coming days.

Lillard is averaging 24.6 points, 6.9 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game this season. He is one of the Bucks' most important players and his absence will be a significant blow.

The Bucks will be hoping to get Lillard back as soon as possible, but they will not rush him back before he is fully recovered.

In Lillard's absence, the Bucks will likely start Grayson Allen at shooting guard. Allen is a solid defender and shooter, but he is not the same offensive threat as Lillard.

The Bucks will also need other players to step up in Lillard's absence. Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jrue Holiday will need to carry a heavier load on the offensive end.

The Bucks are still expected to be a contender in the Eastern Conference this season, but Lillard's injury is a major setback.
