Bucks point guard Damian Lillard is unavailable on Monday for personal reasons.

The team ruled Lillard out for the home matchup with the Utah Jazz, the third game this season the seven-time All-Star won't play. He missed two games in November with a strained calf.

Bucks backup point guard Cameron Payne is also out while in concussion protocol.

Milwaukee has lost three of its last four games.

Acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers before the start of the season, Lillard is averaging 25.1 points, 6.9 assists and 4.3 rebounds this season.
