The Milwaukee Bucks secured an unexpected Game 5 win over the Indiana Pacers, setting the stage for a potential comeback of stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard in Game 6.

Antetokounmpo and Lillard, both sidelined with minor Achilles injuries, are expected to participate in a workout on Wednesday, with coach Doc Rivers hopeful for their return.

The Pacers, relying heavily on Tyrese Haliburton's standout performance, face a pivotal Game 6 that could either extend the series or result in elimination.

The Bucks' victory in Game 5 was achieved despite the absence of their top scorers, casting doubts about the team's ability to clinch the series without Antetokounmpo and Lillard.

The upcoming Game 6 is critical for both teams and will determine whether the Pacers can force a Game 7 or if the Bucks advance, with the Pacers' season hanging in the balance.
