Sources: Lillard taken off blood-thinning meds
Briefly

Damian Lillard has been cleared of deep vein thrombosis and is off blood-thinning medication, with sources indicating a remarkably fast recovery attributed to early detection and treatment. Although he won't play in Game 1 of the Bucks' playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, he is expected to ramp up his on-court activities soon. Coach Doc Rivers remains hopeful for Lillard's return this season, while the team performed well without him, ending the regular season on an eight-game winning streak.
Doctors have told Bucks officials that the speed of Lillard's recovery has never been seen before, due to early treatment, detection, and specialists working on him.
The Bucks said Lillard was making 'significant improvement on his deep vein thrombosis' and that the nine-time All-Star will increase his on-court activity.
