LOS ANGELES — Damian Lillard was ruled out of the Milwaukee Bucks' game against the Lakers in Los Angeles on Thursday night due to a calf injury. The 34-year-old Lillard had initially been listed on the injury report as dealing with right groin soreness. He missed two games in December because of a right calf strain and two in February because of right hamstring soreness. The Lakers are also short-handed. Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves were ruled out of the second game of a back-to-back because of sprained right ankles, as were key rotation players Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle) and Jarred Vanderbilt (right groin strain) following a 120-108 win over Denver on Wednesday night. LeBron James (groin) and Rui Hachimura (knee) remain out.
