Bucks' Damian Lillard makes progress with his adductor issue before the start of the playoffs

MILWAUKEE — Damian Lillard took a small step forward Wednesday in his bid to be ready for the start of the Milwaukee Bucks' Eastern Conference first-round playoff series with the Indiana Pacers. Bucks coach Doc Rivers said Lillard got back on the practice floor and did some shooting and "all of the walk-through stuff." Lillard hadn't practiced at all Tuesday after a sore left adductor bothered him the final weekend of the regular season. The Bucks have Thursday off. Rivers expressed optimism that Lillard would be able to practice more fully on Friday.
