The American media "The Athletic" quoted sources as pointing out that Lillard has not played since the game against the Lakers on March 21 due to a calf strain, but because of the continued discomfort in his calf and similar experience in the past, Lillard decided to thoroughly check and find out the problem.

Lillard then underwent a series of rigorous tests and visited five of the top blood specialists in the United States, and finally found a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf.

After a blood clot problem in his right calf was exposed, Bucks general manager Horst issued a statement, pointing out that Lillard's health is the first priority at the moment, and will fully support Lillard's treatment and help him return to the court.

Lillard also spoke through the team, saying that it is a pity that something beyond his control has happened, and he is grateful to the Bucks team for their active and quick assistance in the process, and looks forward to getting out of the predicament and continuing his career.

Sources pointed out that Lillard began taking anticoagulant drugs for treatment last week and received good results, which also led to optimism that Lillard still has a chance to return this season despite the NBA regular season coming to an end.
