The Milwaukee Bucks were uncertain of their future in the playoffs, as missing one of their superstars in Damian Lillard was cause for concern. However, that is no longer the case. According to NBA insider Shams Charania,

The Bucks open the series Saturday with Game 2 slated for Thursday in Indianapolis, before returning home for Games 3 and 4 in Milwaukee on April 25 and 27. Earlier this week, the Bucks said in a statement that Lillard has made "significant" improvement and continues to increase his on-court basketball activity.

The Milwaukee Bucks will be without Damian Lillard for the start of the team's NBA playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. Milwaukee revealed that the team is still holding out hope that Lillard will be able to suit up at some point during the first round.
