Damian Lillard leaves game with non-contact injury

In the Bucks’ 117-101 Game 3 win, Trent scored a career playoff-high 37 points, which included knocking down nine 3s to tie the Bucks franchise record for most triples in a playoff game. The Bucks trail in the series 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday at 9:30 p.m. ET at Fiserv Forum. “One thing I told the team when they were trying to get Gary here and I was trying to make that connection and bring him here was I told them this is one of the most confident players that I’ve played with,” Lillard said after Friday’s game. “Unshakeable guy. His confidence is steady. His work ethic is steady. Very stubborn. And he’s a guy that’s not going to fold up when moments come. And he’ll be there. “That was one thing I would have stood on the whole time with Gary. When he has a performance like tonight, I know how much he really believes in himself. Some people believe when it’s going well, some people kind of get down on themselves, but I know his thoughts of himself, the true confidence. This type of game does not surprise me by him and it came at a time when we needed it.” -via New York Times / April 26, 2025
