Damian Lillard suffered a left ankle injury in Game 4 of the first-round series between his Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers Sunday night. Running toward a rebound in the first quarter, his leg gave out, and he landed on the ground in pain. The pain seemed to continue while Lillard sat on the court and grabbed his ankle. After play stopped, he was helped to the locker room.

Shortly after, NBA reporter Chris Haynes announced that the injury is suspected to be a torn left Achilles tendon.
