Bucks’ Damian Lillard diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in right calf, is out indefinitely
This was caught early, and with that, there is optimism that it is unlikely to occur again, and that he could return for the playoffs.

Seems like the reporters are trying hard not to say it right now, but given the history of players with blood clotting issues, it’s hard to imagine Dame returning this year. Hopefully there’s something about his situation that distinguishes it from the other cases. – 8:50 PM

More on this storyline
According to a league source who was close to the situation, concern about the nature of Lillard’s injury escalated on Thursday. He missed his first game that night, in Los Angeles against the Lakers, and continued experiencing discomfort and pain beyond the typical calf strain. The source said Lillard had experienced similar symptoms in the past and wanted clarity on the cause. A rigorous discovery process began from there, with Lillard eventually visiting with five of the top hematologists in the United States, either in person (including at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix on Tuesday) or via Zoom. Each of the specialists received his MRIs and sonograms as part of the process. Lillard began taking blood thinners on Friday, the source said, adding that there are encouraging signs that the treatment is working well. -via New York Times / March 25, 2025
