Milwaukee’s Lillard returning for Game 2 against Indiana

Milwaukee Bucks leader Damian Lillard shared he will play in Game 2 vs. the Indiana Pacers tonight.

The Pacers secured the victory in Game 1 to take the lead in the best-of-7 matchup.

The All-Star guard revealed to the media that he would see how his right calf feels before deciding how much time he would be able to spend on the court. Damian didn’t play for more than a month because of deep vein thrombosis, with his last match for Milwaukee on March 18^th.

The Bucks star participated in his 1^st full practice a few days ago after being cleared of deep vein thrombosis and stopping blood-thinning medication.

Damian averaged almost 25 points and over 7 assists in 58 matches in the current campaign. The guard averaged almost 32 points, 5 assists, and over 3 boards during the postseason for Milwaukee in the past campaign.

The Pacers eliminated the Bucks in the 1^st round last year, but Milwaukee fans hope that this time it would be different, and the return of the All-Star guard is fantastic news for the organization.
