The Milwaukee Bucks have upgraded Damian Lillard to “questionable” to play in Game 2 of their NBA playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, just a month after the All-Star guard was diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf.

Lillard hasn’t played since March 18, missing the last 14 games of the regular season and the Bucks’ loss to the Pacers in game one of their Eastern Conference first-round series.

Lillard took part in his first full practice on April 17, after being cleared of blood clots and stopping blood-thinning medication used to treat them.

Bucks coach Doc Rivers said he wasn’t sure when Lillard would return, but there were “very positive signs” that he would play this postseason.

However, Rivers noted that Lillard would need time to get back to game fitness.

“He’s been injured — and that’s what we can call it now, I guess — without working. That’s hard.”

But the prospect of having Lillard in the lineup will still be a boost for the Bucks, who fell 117-98 to the Pacers in Game 1.

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo led all scorers with 36 points but had precious little offensive support from teammates.

Lillard, 34 years old, was averaging just under 25 points per game this season with 4.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists. (Agence France-Presse)
