Former Blazers guard Damian Lillard out indefinitely with blood clot

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard will likely be sidelined indefinitely, with the team announcing Tuesday night that he has deep vein thrombosis in his right calf and is taking blood-thinning medication.

The Bucks provided the update on the seven-time all-NBA guard’s status without offering a target date for his potential return. Lillard has missed the last three games for the Bucks, who play Wednesday at Denver.

Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel.
