Lillard, a nine-time All-Star who played the first 11 seasons of his NBA career with the Portland Trail Blazers, was traded to the Bucks during the 2023 offseason. Lillard missed two games during the Bucks 4-2 first round loss to the Indiana Pacers during last season's playoffs.

The Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has missed the team’s last three games. While fans were expecting his return soon, the team shared a scary update on Tuesday. Lillard was ruled out indefinitely due to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his right calf.

The 34-year-old point guard is on blood-thinners. A league source told The Athletic that there is optimism he will return this season.
