MILWAUKEE — Damian Lillard underwent surgery Friday to repair his left Achilles tendon, the Milwaukee Bucks confirmed Friday evening.

The Bucks said the surgery was successful.

Lillard tore his Achilles tendon during Game 4 in round one of the NBA playoffs on Sunday when the Bucks played the Indiana Pacers. As he fell to the floor, he tipped the ball to a teammate, and ultimately needed assistance getting up and leaving the court.

It was just Lillard’s third game back after being out due to deep vein thrombosis in his calf.

Lillard had an MRI Monday, confirming his torn Achilles tendon. He was out for the rest of the playoffs, which ended quickly for the Bucks after a Game 5 loss.

The Bucks said the surgery was performed in Los Angeles by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, with consultation from Dr. Carole Vetter, the Bucks’ orthopaedic surgeon.
