Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard will likely be sidelined indefinitely, with the team announcing Tuesday night that he has deep vein thrombosis in his right calf and is taking blood-thinning medication.

There's "much more hope" that Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard can return this season from deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, which has kept him out since March 18. Head coach Doc Rivers delivered that news to reporters Thursday before his team's road win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

The news on Damian Lillard's persistent right calf injury was not good. The veteran all-star Milwaukee Bucks guard was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot in his lower right leg). He will be out of action for a significant period of time.
