Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has been cleared after dealing with deep vein thrombosis, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, and is no longer on blood-thinning medication.
Earlier this week, Charania reported Lillard would likely be out for the start of the playoffs. Lillard is still out for Saturday's Game 1 against the Pacers, per Charania, but will ramp up for a return. According to The Athletic's Sam Amick and Eric Nehm, Lillard played some 3-on-3 Wednesday.
Charania reported that doctors told the Bucks that Lillard's quick recovery "has never been seen before," but that it happened thanks to early detection and treatment.
