Bucks' Damian Lillard: Sniffs double-double

Lillard finished with 20 points (6-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, two steals and a block across 27 minutes in Monday's 111-107 preseason win over the Bulls.

Giannis Antetokounmpo stole the show with a double-double in just 23 minutes Monday. However, Lillard finished just one assist away from notching his own double-double, as the star floor general looks ready for the start of the regular season. The Bucks still have one more preseason contest left against the Mavericks on Thursday. Lillard is entering his second year with the Bucks after averaging 24.3 points, 7.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game in 2023-24.
