Damian Lillard might be back on the court before long. The Milwaukee Bucks guard, who was sidelined after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, is reportedly hoping to get cleared to return to basketball activities sometime in the next few weeks, per ESPN's Shams Charania.
The team announced last week that Lillard had been diagnosed with the blood clot in his right calf, and that he would be out indefinitely. But Charania went on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Wednesday to report that there was "optimism" for Lillard to return to the court soon.
The guard is "hopeful" that he could be cleared for full-contact practice in the next week or week and a half, per Charania, who added that Lillard has already begun doing some light workouts this week.
