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

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 on Tuesday after a sore left adductor bothered him the final weekend of the regular season.
