Damian Lillard Diagnosed with Blood Clot, Out Indefinitely

The Milwaukee Bucks face uncertainty as their star guard undergoes treatment for deep vein thrombosis with hopes of a potential return this season.

Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his right calf and is undergoing treatment with blood-thinning medication.
The Bucks acted swiftly, consulting top specialists, and doctors have indicated the condition is unlikely to recur after recovery.
Lillard’s absence leaves the Bucks, currently tied for fifth place in the Eastern Conference, struggling to maintain playoff positioning.
Despite no clear timetable for return, there is optimism that Lillard could rejoin the team during the postseason if cleared by medical staff.
The diagnosis raises comparisons to other NBA players, such as Victor Wembanyama, whose season ended due to a similar condition.
