Milwaukee Bucks hope that even the first series of rounds against them will be able to Indiana Pacers After a frustrating defeat 117-98 in the first game. While Giannis Antetokunmpo had 36 points and 12 rebounds, his supporting cast was only 2-12 at the shots created by him by his death. As a Milwaukee team, he had only 9-37 out of three (24.3%) and allowed their offensive struggle to defend them.

When Lillard was first diagnosed with his blood clot, he said that he did not even think about when he would be able to return to the basketball game. Instead, he thought about his children, his family.

“One of my closest cousins, in 2021, had a shrub in his calf. He did not know. [came to my] mind.
“The most arduous part of the whole process was that the first few days, when I really started to feel it. It was not obvious that it was a blood clot, but when I found out that it was, well, I knew what it was and why it was so sore and swollen.
“But I would say that after three to five days I felt normal. I felt like I could do everything I could do physically. But the fact was that I still had a blood clot in my leg.”
