Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, leading to an indefinite absence from play. At age 34, Lillard is on blood-thinning medication that has stabilized the situation, and he will continue to receive regular health assessments. Bucks GM Jon Horst emphasized the focus on Lillard's health and supportive recovery process, with doctors optimistic about the rare nature of such occurrences in the future. Additionally, Lillard is an All-Star, averaging nearly 25 points and 7.1 assists in the season.
Lillard's health is our No. 1 priority," Bucks general manager Jon Horst said in a statement. "We will support him as he moves through this weekly process."
Doctors have indicated that his situation is very unlikely to occur again. We are thankful that this was identified and medicated quickly, which helps with the recovery.
