Bucks' Damian Lillard is off blood-thinning medication and cleared for full basketball activity

The Milwaukee Bucks Guard, Damian Lillard, is a drug without blood and has been clear for the complete basketball activity, a great step forward on his return from the deep vein thrombosis that has kept him out during the last month.

Bucks are not indicating exactly when the seven-time All-NBA interpreter could play again, although it has been discarded for its first playoff game. The Bucks are sown fifth at the Eastern Conference and open the playoffs on Saturday in Indiana against the Pacers of the sown room.

“This could have a bone race,” said the Bucks coach, Doc Rivers. “Or it was. The fact that there is a very good possibility of playing in the playoffs for us, that is a God.”

Lillard played for the last time in a game on March 18. The Bucks announced a week after Lillard had a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf and was subjecting blood medications.

The deep vein thrombosis is an abnormal clot inside a glass where blood freezing blocks the flow on the road back to the heart.

“We are excited by Lady,” the Bucks General Manager, Jon Horst, said Thursday in a statement. “Our priority has always been the health of Dame. We are grateful to our medical team by diagnosing and treating its TVP at an early stage, and by the specialists in world -renowned hematology in May Clinic. Each step of the recovery of Dame has been in the direction of world -class medical professionals and their specific and strict protocols that have allowed the return of Dame Safe’s Safe the Safe the Safe the Tome to play.”

Lillard’s return allowed him to participate in the practice of bucks on this day.

“We weren’t live today, but he was in practice through practice today,” Rivers said. “Now we have to see where he is physically. He will take a minute.”

Lillard, 34, finished the regular season took the tenth place in annotations (24.9) and tenth in assists (7.1). He obtained his ninth selection of All-Star games this year.

Milwaukee had 10-4 without Lillard about his last 14 regular season games and enters the playoffs on an eight-game winning streak.

But Bucks still know that they are a much better team when Lillard is on the floor.

“We have gone from thinking that it was like 99% so far, very positive signs in which it will be at some point,” said Rivers.

Rivers said that Lillard can return at some point in this series, but added: “I just don’t know.”
