Dame Time couldn't wait any longer.

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard watched from the bench when the Indiana Pacers took a 1-0 lead in their 2025 NBA playoffs series. He won't be a spectator on Tuesday.

Lillard told reporters he will play in Game 2 when the Bucks look to even this Eastern Conference first-round rematch in Indianapolis. The Pacers, coming off last year's first-round win over the Bucks, scored a decisive 117-98 win in Game 1 on Saturday. The game featured a tense exchange of words between Lillard and Indiana point guard Tyrese Haliburton at one point, and their matchup will be a notable wrinkle as the series proceeds.

The Pacers knocked the Bucks out of the playoffs in the first round last year when Giannis Antetokounmpo missed every game. If Lillard plays Tuesday, it will be the first playoff game he and Antetokounmpo have appeared in together since joining forces in Milwaukee.

Here's how to watch this pivotal Game 2 between the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers as 2025 NBA playoffs action continues on Tuesday:
