In Game 5, the Milwaukee Bucks avoided elimination by defeating the Indiana Pacers 115-92, marking an unprecedented victory in NBA history for a team missing both of its top regular-season scorers, including Damian Lillard due to injury. Lillard may make a comeback for Game 6 in Indiana.
Doc Rivers mentioned that both Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is also dealing with an injury, are nearing their return and are scheduled for on-court workouts on Wednesday. Rivers expressed optimism about their progress, suggesting they are very close to returning to action.
