Lillard hurt his Achilles in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series on April 26.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, who hasn't played since April 9, when he strained his calf, will sit the game out once again.
The Bucks find themselves in a do-or-die situation, down 3-2 in the series. They'll need to win tonight and win again at home in Game 7 in order to advance in the playoffs.
Game 6 against the Pacers tips off at 5:30 p.m.
