Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has been rid of deep venous thrombosis in his right calf and no longer takes blood drugs, the team announced on Thursday.

Earlier this week, the Bucks said in a statement that Lillard had made “significant” improvement.
According to the team’s declaration:
“Damian’s last weekly scan shows that his injury has improved considerably, which will allow him to advance safely with an increased basketball activity,” said Bucks Managing Director Jon Horst. “Damian’s health remains our priority n ° 1. We have followed strict protocols and will continue to do so. We are satisfied with positive news concerning Damian’s progress.”
Lillard has been released since March 18 with the diagnosis, although in early April, the Doc Rivers coach told journalists that he had optimism May the star goalkeeper come back this season.
In the absence of Lillard, the Bucks went 10-4, closing the season on a sequence of eight consecutive victories. They will face the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs, and although Milwaukee is doing well without Lillard in the regular season, they could certainly use it in the playoffs. Giannis Antetokounmpo is certainly able to carry the dollars on his back, because he has made countless times, but Indiana was in tears to finish the season. The Pacers started the slow season, but understood things in Midway and obtained a seeded among the first four at the Eastern Conference behind an offense that ranks ninth in the League. The Pacers knocked out the dollars in the first round last season while Attentokounmpo missed the series with an injury.
The Indiana star Tyrese Haliburton has overturned his season, and since January 1, he has an average of 19.5 points, 9.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds out of 51% on the ground and 43.1% deep, which is much closer to the All-Star numbers it set up the last two seasons. Then there is Pascal Siakam, who was elite at the two ends of the soil for Indiana, anchoring the defense with Andrew Nembhard, who has led to the ninth best defense since the new year.
Bucks are not to be outdone; They have the 11th best clear note this season, but without Lillard withdrawing part of the responsibilities of score of the shoulders of Antetokounmpo, it will make things more difficult for Milwaukee in his series against a team from the Indiana which can accumulate in haste.
