Damian Lillard's resolve is high just two days after an excruciating torn left Achilles tendon knocked him out of the rest of this season's playoffs. Lillard spoke with Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers on Tuesday and made a vow that the devastating injury will not shorten his stellar NBA career.

The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a devastating blow to their roster on Sunday. All-Star guard Damian Lillard left the game early after he sustained a foot injury, which was eventually diagnosed as a left torn Achilles tendon.
