Damian Lillard's already difficult season came to an abrupt end on Sunday when the star guard went down with what was later diagnosed as an Achilles tear during Game 4 of the Milwaukee Bucks' playoff series vs.

Damian Lillard's resolve is high just two days after an excruciating torn left Achilles tendon knocked him out of the rest of this season's playoffs.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers says he spoke to Damian Lillard on Tuesday and the guard said he's "not going out this way" after tearing his left Achilles tendon.
