Victim of a venous thrombosis, in the same way as Victor Wembanyama, Damian Lillard will only need a little month to get back on his feet. As he approaches his return to the field, he stood out on this appalling ordeal.
After Ausar Thompson last year and Victor Wembanyama a few weeks before him, Damian Lillard has also seen his season put in danger by a blood clot. Located in his right calf, the latter prevented him from playing the slightest match with Milwaukee since March 18. His deductible can however be rejoiced at the dawn of the playoffs, since the leader-star should soon make his return according to Shams Charania:
Shams Charania : Damian Lillard got rid of his venous thrombosis and no longer has to follow his treatment, indicate sources in ESPN. Lillard is unavailable for Game 1 on Saturday against Indiana and will have a certain time to resume training with contact and to upgrade physically before returning to the field.
Be that as it may, this process allowed him to recover in just three weeks of a blood clot is remarkable and historic. Doctors told Bucks leaders that such a recovery has never been seen before – but has been made possible by the rapid treatment and detection of the problem as well as by the work of specialists with Lillard before a formal diagnosis is carried out.
Based in a flash of this pathology, Lillard could therefore participate in the series against the Pacers. Enough to do the business of the Bucks, which will certainly not spit on his talent and his leadership in a confrontation also raised on paper. In the meantime, the time is above all for rejoicing in Wisconsin and for lady and her relatives, for whom the last weeks have not been easy.
Damian Lillard engages on his venous thrombosis
Sent at a press conference this Friday, Lillard was obviously asked about the health problem that suddenly removed him from the prosecution. And despite his experience in injury, he admits having feared for his health:
Damian Lillard : It was a bit creepy, knowing that I had to go on the billiards a few times in my career.
I had to manage many injuries, whether at the ankle, knee, Achilles tendon, calf or others. But with all these things, it is enough to follow a usual rehabilitation for an athlete. I thought that was what I was going to have to do but when I learned that it was a blood clot … Obviously, it is something that can affect your life.
Accustomed to following periods of rehabilitation in his career, Damian Lillard had never been confronted with a blood clot. It was therefore with apprehension that he started his recovery process … that he is about to finish in record time.
