Milwaukee Bucks star guard Damian Lillard will miss Friday night’s game against the host Cleveland Cavaliers due to a right calf strain.

Lillard scored 23 points and made five 3-pointers when the Bucks recorded a 97-81 in over the Oklahoma City Thunder to win the NBA Cup on Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

Lillard has scored more than 20 points in 11 of his past 12 appearances.

Lillard, an eight-time All-Star, is averaging 25.7 points, 7.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 22 regular-season games.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (illness) are listed as probable for Milwaukee (14-11) as it takes on NBA-best Cleveland (23-4).
