How will Lillard's absence affect the Bucks?
Good morning and welcome to the Athletic NBA Daily. Coming up, some bad news for Damian Lillard and the Bucs. Myself and Andrew Schleck play a game of Moments of the Night. And Anthony Slater comes on the show to talk about Jimmy Butler's return to Miami. The Warriors got smoked. Good morning, everyone. Good morning, Andrew. Good morning. Crazy, crazy night as usual. Basketball always great. We unfortunately got some pretty bad news out the gate for tonight, though. And that was that Damian Lillard had has been sustained basically deep, deep injuries. vein thrombosis I want to get that right because it's essentially a blood clot that was found in his calf and he's out indefinitely for it he missed three games with a calf strain so the Bucks basically found out that this is something more serious obviously all the best wishes to Dame and obviously the Bucks situation is really tough but from Sam Amick and Eric name of the athletic they both reported that there is some optimism that Dame is going to come back this season obviously
We'll see what happens there. We've seen, obviously, numerous cases this season of the similar thing. Victor Weminyama got ruled out this season. Asar Thompson had to deal with it throughout the year and came back second half of the season. Christian Coloco, another example, who missed all of last season but now came back and is playing for the Lakers.
What were the memorable moments from last night's games?
So it's obviously one of those common things, but it's unfortunate for the Bucs because – Man, they've had some really, really unlucky injuries over the last couple of seasons between Damon Giannis last year, Giannis the year before with the heat run to the finals. It's just it's unfortunate from the Bucs side of things.
Yeah, and I don't know how many more years the Bucs can have disappointing losses like this in the playoffs. I mean, if you can't play in round one. Like they'll be against Indiana, most likely. Sure. Yeah. And like, that's a tough matchup. The Pacers are a good team. They're playing really good basketball right now. And you need Damian Lillard to win games. You just absolutely do. So it's, it's a bummer, but it's, it's good that he's taking care of himself. Absolutely. Hopefully he can come back and just best wishes to Dame and his family.
Absolutely. Yeah. And Chris Haynes did report that like, you know, him and the Bucks are taking this seriously and that he's in, well, you know, kind of good spirits through this whole situation. So definitely hope everything is okay for Dame. Okay. So crazy night in the NBA. A lot of stuff happened as it usually does in the association. We wanted to do a little moments draft before I talked to Anthony Slater about the Warriors getting smoked to the heat. Okay. Yeah. Do you want to start this draft or do you want me to do the honors? How do you feel? I would love to go first. Okay, take the first overall pick. Tell me the number one moment from last night.
What did Anthony Slater say about Jimmy Butler's return?
So I will take, and this is not necessarily a moment from last night, but just a moment for Shea Gills Alexander, who scored 20 points or more in this game. In fact, against the Kings in a win that kind of got tight in the third quarter, but the Thunder pulled away. Shea had another big game. He had 32 points, seven rebounds, five assists. He did have five turnovers, all of them in the first quarter, by the way. It was very strange.
How did the Warriors perform without Steph Curry?
i think he'd only had four other games or five other games where he had had five or more turnovers and he did it all in the first quarter but didn't turn the ball over after that so good for him but he now holds a thunder record that he passed kevin durant for he now has 65 straight 20 plus uh point games yeah which is wild only michael jordan who has 69 of those games. Oscar Robertson has 76.
