Former Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard will be out indefinitely due to a blood clot in his calf, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes.

Lillard, a nine-time All-Star who played the first 11 seasons of his NBA career with the Portland Trail Blazers, was traded to the Bucks during the 2023 offseason. Lillard missed two games during the Bucks 4-2 first round loss to the Indiana Pacers during last season's playoffs.

In a blockbuster 2023 offseason gamble, the Milwaukee Bucks traded All-Defensive combo guard Jrue Holiday — with whom they had won their first title in 50 years — for aging superstar point guard Damian Lillard with their sights set on expanding Giannis Antetokounmpo's championship window. Instead, it's starting to look like they acquired a lemon.
