The timing couldn’t be worse for the Bucks. As the playoffs approach and the Pistons breathe heavy on neck, worry looms over their star players. It feels like history repeating itself, but this time, it’s not just one player who has joined the injury report before the postseason. Both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s futures are uncertain. After Shams Charania’s nerve-wracking news about Dame Time’s blood clot in his right calf, there’s finally an update that could provide Milwaukee fans with a momentary sense of relief.
The deep vein thrombosis that Charania mentioned is the same injury Victor Wembanyama sustained, which is keeping him out for this entire regular season. But it might not be the same case for Lillard. According to National reporter Jamal Collier, “There’s still optimism at this time that Dame is going to play again at some point this season.”
