Bucks` Lillard out indefinitely


Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, also known as a blood clot, in his right calf that will sideline him indefinitely, the team announced Tuesday.

Lillard, 34, is on a blood-thinning medication, which has stabilized the clot, according to the team. He went through a series of meetings with specialists over the past several days to diagnose the blood clot, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania. He has been on blood thinners for a period of time now.

"Damian's health is our No. 1 priority," Bucks general manager Jon Horst said in a statement. "We will support him as he moves through this weekly process of strict criteria to ensure that it is safe for him to return to play. Doctors have indicated that his situation is very unlikely to occur again. We are thankful that this was identified and medicated quickly, which helps with the recovery."

The San Antonio Spurs shut down star big Victor Wembanyama in February after he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
