Bucks' Damian Lillard: Struggles from field in Game 3
Lillard finished with seven points (2-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 117-101 win over Indiana in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Gary Trent led the way for the Bucks in this win, and that was needed due to Lillard's shooting woes. The star floor general has shot the ball poorly in his two games since returning from a calf injury, making just six of his 25 shots from the field and going 3-for-16 from three-point range. The star floor general will aim to bounce back in Game 4 on Sunday.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Rough shooting night in return
Lillard (calf) totaled 14 points (4-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 37 minutes Tuesday in the Bucks' 123-115 loss to the Pacers in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series.
Suiting up for the first time since March 18 after missing the final 14 games of the regular season along with the Bucks' Game 1 loss to the Pacers due to deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, Lillard surprisingly didn't operate with any playing-time restrictions, as he exceeded his season-long average of 36.1 minutes per contest. The veteran point guard's return didn't provide the sort of lift the Bucks may have been counting on, however, as Lillard struggled to find any sort of shooting rhythm. Bobby Portis (28 points) instead stepped up to provide the most support for star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (34 points), but better production from Lillard will be essential moving forward if the Bucks are to overcome the 2-0 series deficit.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Limited, but will start
Head coach Doc Rivers said Lillard (conditiong) will start Tuesday in Game 2 of the Bucks' first-round series with the Pacers but will have his minutes monitored, Jeremiah Johnson of FanDuel Sports Network Indiana reports.
Lillard will make his return to action Tuesday after missing the final 14 games of the regular season as well as the Bucks' Game 1 loss to the Pacers due to deep vein thrombosis in his right calf. While the star guard will almost certainly replace Ryan Rollins in the starting five against Indiana, Lillard could see less than his season average of 36.1 minutes per contest.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Will play in Game 2
Lillard (calf) has been cleared to play Tuesday in Game 2 of the Bucks' first-round playoff series versus the Pacers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Lillard will make his long-awaited return to the floor after missing the last 14 games of the regular as well as the Game 1 loss to Indiana due to a blood clot. While Lillard will likely start Tuesday, he could operate with a minute restriction since he may not be fully up to speed following the long layoff from game action.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Upgraded to questionable for Game 2
Lillard (calf) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
Lillard's status for the NBA playoffs has been uncertain, with no solid timetable. However, the superstar guard appears to be nearing a return, with head coach Doc Rivers making it known Monday that he's "close" to getting back on the floor, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports. Milwaukee is coming off a disappointing loss in Game 1 and desperately needs its superstar point guard back sooner rather than later.

Lillard has now been able to go through live scrimmages for the past couple of days. Head coach Doc Rivers said Lillard is progressing well and is "close" to a return. At the same time, a previous report from ESPN's Shams Charania indicated that a return for Game 2 against the Pacers on Tuesday is a possibility.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Hopeful to return for Game 2 or 3
Lillard (calf) is expected to return to action next for Tuesday's Game 2 or Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Shams Charania of ESPN.com reports.
Lillard was diagnosed with a blood clot in his right calf just over three weeks ago but has made a shockingly quick recovery and was medically cleared Thursday. While Lillard has already been ruled out for Game 1, he participated in his first full practice Thursday. The star guard's return date will ultimately be determined by when he can regain his in-game conditioning.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Cleared of deep vein thrombosis
Lillard (calf) is no longer on blood-thinning medication, which is a drastic step forward to returning to the floor for the Bucks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Lillard will miss a 15th consecutive game on Saturday due to his condition. However, this update is a promising sign that he'll be back in the lineup for Milwaukee sooner rather than later, which significantly increases the team's chances of beating the Pacers in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The superstar guard had another solid regular season, averaging 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists while tying a career high with 1.2 steals per game.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Will miss Game 1 vs. Indiana
Lillard (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Despite making "significant progress" with his blood clot issue, Lillard will not play in Game 1 in Indiana. The superstar guard will continue to increase basketball activity this week and is expected to return at some point during the NBA playoffs, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. Ryan Rollins (shoulder) and Kevin Porter (wrist) will likely continue to see more time on the floor during Lillard's absence.

Bucks' Damian Lillard: Cleared for basketball activity
Lillard (calf) has been able to participate in shooting drills and light running, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Lillard is continuing to trend in the right direction after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his right calf on March 25. He recently gained clearance to participate in some basketball activities. Milwaukee head coach Doc Rivers didn't have much to add in terms of a timeline for a return, so it's likely safe to consider Lillard week-to-week until the team has another update on his rehab.
