After being sent from Portland to Milwaukee shortly before the start of training camp, Damian Lillard will play in his first game as a member of the Bucks on Sunday. During an interview on Wednesday's edition of "NBA Today," Bucks coach Adrian Griffin told ESPN's Malika Andrews that Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo will be available for the matchup with the Lakers.

"We want to see them out there in live competitive play," Griffin told Andrews. "It's an exciting time for us, but it's a process. We're just taking it step by step."
