Milwaukee had a terrible, no good, very bad week. It started with the news that Damian Lillard’s calf injury was caused by a DVT in his right calf. He is now out indefinitely. There is optimism that Lillard can return at some point this season, but the health of Dame is more critical, and this is not an injury you would want to rush somebody back from.
Milwaukee then had no Giannis Antetokounmpo or Lillard against the Denver Nuggets. Despite not having their two stars, Milwaukee gave the Nuggets a challenge, but they still fell to Jokic and Co.
