Some more concrete news just dropped regarding Damian Lillard’s prognosis with the first round of the NBA playoffs five days away. According to the latest report from ESPN’s Shams Charania, Damian Lillard will indeed miss the start of the postseason due to his blood clot. Considering the lack of certainty surrounding the superstar’s timeline, this is pretty unsurprising news, even though Charania reported optimism in the organization regarding Lillard’s return over the weekend.
However, according to the report, Dame has made “significant progress” with the clot and optimism remains in the air in Milwaukee. He is continuing to ramp up his basketball activity this week.
