Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has recovered from deep vein thrombosis and is no longer on blood-thinning medication, as per ESPN sources. Lillard will miss Game 1 of the playoff series against the Indiana Pacers to resume contact workouts for his return.
Doctors have noted Lillard's unprecedented recovery speed, attributing it to early treatment, detection, and specialized care. The Bucks have reported significant improvement in Lillard's condition without specifying a return timeline. Previously sidelined indefinitely, Lillard's absence impacted the team's performance, though they finished the season strongly with an eight-game winning streak.
