MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee guard Damian Lillard will sit out the Bucks' game Friday night at Cleveland because of a strained right calf.

The Bucks released an injury report Thursday night ruling out the seven-time all-NBA guard.

Earlier in the day, Lillard and teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo were selected to the NBA Cup all-tournament team. Lillard averaged 27.3 points in six NBA Cup games. He scored 23 points Tuesday night as the Bucks beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 97-81 in the championship game at Las Vegas.
