Damian Lillard's Past DVT and Achilles Injury Recalled

Damian Lillard was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his right calf last March, making a surprisingly quick return to play for the Milwaukee Bucks in the playoffs by late April. He subsequently sustained a torn Achilles tendon in his left leg during a first-round game against the Indiana Pacers. The potential impact of his DVT and recovery on the Achilles tear in his opposite leg remains unclear.
