Bucks' Damian Lillard Out Indefinitely With Blood Clot

News summary

Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, leading to his indefinite sidelining and the use of blood-thinning medication. The team emphasized that Lillard's health is the top priority and that doctors believe his condition is unlikely to recur. This injury adds to the Bucks' struggles this season, as they have already dealt with multiple injuries and setbacks, including the recent trade of Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma, who has not met expectations. With Lillard's absence, the team's championship hopes appear diminished, and they sit fifth in the Eastern Conference with 11 games remaining. While there is optimism about Lillard's eventual return, he may miss a significant portion of the season as the team navigates his recovery process. The Bucks have shown resilience without him, holding an 8-5 record in games he missed this season, but the loss of their star point guard is a critical blow to their postseason aspirations.
