Lillard Returns to Action for Bucks vs Pacers Game

Guard Damian Lillard confirmed to reporters that he will return to the court on April 23, 2025, against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis. The star player for the Bucks, Damian Lillard, was questionable for the second game of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. He hasn’t played since March 18 due to a blood clot in his foot. Last month, the 34-year-old guard was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right calf and was taking blood thinners, forcing him to stay out of action. Lillard averaged 24.9 points, 7.1 assists, and 4.7 rebounds in 58 games during the regular season. Over more than 900 career games with the Portland Trail Blazers (2012-23) and the Bucks, he has averaged 25.1 points, 6.7 assists, and 4.3 rebounds.
