Milwaukee Bucks received destructive messages during pushing play -ff, when it was announced that Damian Lillard was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis, a type of blood cot. Absent in the last three games, Lillard is now indefinite. Klot is in the same calf, the official reason for these absences in the report on injuries that he had wounded earlier this season. On the most crucial episode of the Bucks season they will be forced to rely on Giannis Antetokunmpo more than ever.
On 40-31, fifth place in the east Two games for Pacers and piston in 6th place, have an extremely lean margin of error. And even if they catch Indiana and/or reject Detroit, Lillard’s absence, if it extends for the season after the season, dramatically limits their ceiling. It does not look good in the Milwaukee season, but the most crucial problem for Bucks fans is Lillard’s health and well -being. Shortly after the report, the Dame shared a statement that responds to the message.
Damian Lillard issues a future reaction, thanking Milwaukee Bucks for a quick action
Talking to Insider NBA Chris Haynes, Lillard he said The following:
“It is unfortunate that something would appear except for my control. Together with Bucks medical staff, our priorities are to protect my health and safety. As I love basketball, I have to be here for my children and family. I am grateful that Bucks worked quickly. They were supporting and proactive throughout this process.
Due to various ailments, above all his tense calf and disease at the beginning of this season, Lillard has already left 13 matches. He is second in the team, scoring 24.9 points per match and runs Bucks with 7.1 assistance. He is their most threatening deep threat and probably their best creator of the shot, taking into account his handle and the ability to manipulate the defenders from dribbling.
Without him, Doc Rivers will, of course, bend over Giannis, but trade acquisitions Kyle Kuzma AND Kyle porter jr They will also have to augment their perfect contribution to creating games. While Milwaukee has a luxury of snipers, such as Taurean Prince, Aj Green and Gary Trent Jr, it would be perfect if Kuzma improved his shooting now when Bocza Dame created a huge void in this area.
Bucks do not ask him for a 37.6 three -point percentage of Lillard on a huge volume, but he can certainly make progress on his sign 29.4% (and 42.9% in the field) since joining the team at the time of trade.
Where they will leave Bucks from here, when Dame deals with a blood clot
Lillard is on the treatment of a clot and will undoubtedly observe the strict recovery scheme to protect his health and return to court as soon as possible. But it probably won’t be soon. Several months It is a typical schedule of deep vein thrombosis to remove, which can push the process in the season out of season.
Milwaukee will be particularly lean until Bobby Portis returns from its suspension of 25 matches, which ends about 6 games to go in the schedule. When Portis returns, he may need a transition period to return to basketball in real time.
Playoff photo for Bucks seems gloomy. Compared to DAME health, of course, this is not a problem with a huge picture. We hope that he will succeed in a quick and full recovery and soon return to the floor.
