Lillard Cleared, Expected Back in Bucks Playoffs
Tap title to read story
Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has been cleared of a blood clot in his right calf and is expected to return for Game 2 or 3 of their first-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. Lillard will miss Game 1 due to his recent injury and subsequent recovery, which the team described as "historic." The Bucks, who went 10-4 without Lillard, will need his scoring to counter Indiana's strong offense, especially considering Giannis Antetokounmpo's injury history against the Pacers. The team is prioritizing Lillard's health and has followed strict medical protocols for his return.
