The Milwaukee Bucks face off against the LA Clippers on Thursday night in a game that Milwaukee is hoping to get revenge for a disappointing January 25 loss.

While the Bucks are hoping to avoid getting swept in the regular season by LA, there's a chance they might be incredibly shorthanded in the battle.

The Bucks currently have Giannis Antetokounmpo listed as questionable with a long-term calf injury against LA, but they suddenly have Damian Lillard listed on the injury report, too.

Damian Lillard has been listed as questionable against the LA Clippers due to a right hamstring strain.

Here is the Bucks' injury report vs. the Clippers on Thursday:
