Damian Lillard has a bit of a history of getting punished for doing the right thing. For years he was the face of loyalty in the NBA. He spent the bulk of his prime watching his contemporaries link up on the team of their choice and compete for championships.

Rick Carlisle, Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner began their press conferences by sending best wishes to Damian Lillard after his leg injury.

In Game 4 of the Bucks' first-round matchup against the Indiana Pacers, Lillard went down in the first quarter and had to be helped off the court. Shortly after suffering the injury, Haynes reported that Lillard was feared to have torn his Achilles.
