When you see a guy like that, not be able to walk on his own...
This might be serious...
At the end of the day, I think everybody is going to pray for him, support him, be there for him, talk to him, he's part of our team, he's our leader. No matter what the outcome is, we're gonna be there for him." Lillard has been with the Bucks for two seasons.
