FINAL UPDATE: Damian Lillard has been ruled out for Saturday's game. 

UPDATE: Damian Lillard will be a game-time decision (h/t Eric Nehm of The Athletic).  

On Saturday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks will be in Florida to face off against the Orlando Magic. 

For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as Damian Lillard is on the injury report.

Via Underdog NBA: "Damian Lillard (calf) listed questionable for Saturday."

Lillard has played in seven games so far this season and is averaging 24.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 40.0% from the field and 29.3% from the three-point range.   

The Bucks are 5-3 in their first eight games and most recently lost to the Indiana Pacers by a score of 126-124 (Lillard did not play in the game). 

Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 54 points, 12 rebounds and three assists while shooting 19/25 from the field in 36 minutes of playing time. 

Lillard is in his first season with the Bucks after spending the previous 11 years with the Portland Trail Blazers.  

The duo of Lillard and Antetokounmpo has a chance to be among the best in the league, and they will likely be a contender for the 2024 NBA Championship.   

Currently, the Bucks are 4-1 in the five games they have played at home but are 1-2 in the three games they have played on the road away from Wisconsin.  

As for the Magic, they are 4-4 in their first eight games and most recently lost to the Atlanta Hawks (in Mexico City) by a score of 120-119. 

Jalen Suggs led the team with 21 points.
