Milwaukee Bucks: Damian Lillard has sustained a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) in his right calf. Lillard is on blood-thinning medication, which has stabilized the blood clot, and will continue with regular testing. He is out indefinite period.

thats so sad
Crazy how these elite athletes are getting DVTs/blood clots
Usually older people/hosp patients who are sedentary get em. Get well soon Dame
Welcome to the club, take a seat
Oh no that’s exactly what Bosh had
I went for my entire life never hearing of the term “deep vein thrombosis” and now I’ve heard it multiple times in the past couple months
Any chance hes back for playoffs?
Wow…
Well there’s the season.
More importantly though I hope he’s okay. The definitely does not sound good.
WHAT THE FUCKK
This sucks, hope him and Wemby get better.
The amount of season ending injuries in basketball this year is nuts
This is bad. Way more concerning than Wemby. Hopefully he doesn’t get Bosh’d
What the fuck
Scariest injury in the NBA right now
“Dr Said I got blood clots but I ain’t Jamaican man”
2 cases of DVT in 1 season is crazy
Curious if the guy who made the post about never getting to see Dame play in person feels bad now
Giannis playoff injury luck since the title has been absolutely terrible. Monkey’s paw and all… Really feel for Bucks fans. Not a single healthy playoff run since 2021.
Thankfully they caught it early. Those leg clots routinely can break off and travel to your lungs which causes pulmonary embolism… Hopefully he bounces back. Olajuwon dealt with leg clots during his career but was able to play with a compression sleeve
Who was that asshole that started the thread complaining that Dame Lillard was sitting when he went to the game in person LOL
holy shit this is serious news… wishing the best for Damian man…
wtf
Are you fucking kidding me
Can we be healthy in the playoffs
ONE FUCKING YEAR?????
I’m so sorry, Bucks fans. We understand your pain too well. I’m hoping Dame makes a full recovery.
Milwaukee really sold their soul for that 21 chip
We’re cooked
League needs to help prevent DVTs – i.e. prevent long flights and short turn around, have players use compression socks, educate that they have to move more during flights or travel on a bus or long commute. this isn’t normal to have so many players have clots like this.
Glad they got it, blood clots in the calf are very dangerous.
This type of clot is worse than the Wemby one by the way. Maybe I’m being pessimistic but I wouldn’t be shocked if this is it for his career which sucks,
Love dame.
fuck this sucks. get better soon Dame Time
Another reminder how quickly shit can go sideways no matter who you are.
could it be all the flying?
that’s crazy for how fit these dudes are
Sad about Dame and also sad (but not as much) that Shams doesn’t know the word “indefinitely”
