In completely earth-shattering and shocking news, Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Milwaukee Bucks All-Star guard Damian Lillard has been fully cleared of his blood clots and is no longer blood thinning medication. While he is out for Game 1 on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers, this potentially clears the way for him to play as early as Game 2.
In a remarkable turn of events, it took Lillard just three weeks to be fully recovered from the blood clots. Shams goes on to report that this recovery has never been seen before and the only reason it occurred was due to the early treatment, detection, and specialists Lillard had been working with prior to an official diagnosis.
