It was a shock to the Milwaukee Bucks when Damian Lillard was given a diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis. The blood clots have him ruled out indefintiely. If Lillard is forced to miss time into the playoffs, the Bucks will have a much harder time making a deep run in the playoffs. They are a much better team when they have Lillard out there.

Milwaukee Bucks All-Star guard Damian Lillard sustained a blood clot inside his right calf and is out indefinitely, the team announced.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers said it would take "a committee" of players to fill Damian Lillard's void and offered his "emotional support" to the star guard, who is sidelined by deep vein thrombosis in his right calf.
