The playoffs drama is set to begin soon. Teams are getting ready to play their best basketball of the season. And you know what this means- all the stars will be pumped up and preparing for war on the court. But there’s a popular figure set to be missing the initial part of the playoffs- and that’s Bucks guard Damian Lillard. It’s definitely not what the Doc ordered.

But ESPN’s Shams Charania has quashed all hopes that Doc Rivers had of their star point guard returning on the eve of the post season. Without Lillard, the Bucks are without their primary backcourt threat and a go-to scorer in clutch moments—something the team noticeably lacks in his absence. And it seems like they’ll have to wait to hear more about the 34-year-old’s progress.
