The team announced on Tuesday that Damian Lylad has revealed deep vein thrombosis in its right calf – a blood clot.
The diagnosis will exclude the lyllad indefinitely.

The box provided an update on the position of the All-NBA guard seven times without offering a target date for its possible return. Lillard has recalled the last three competitions of the box and has already been excluded for his Wednesday’s game in Denver.
“Demian’s health is our number 1 priority,” Box General Manager John Horst said in a statement. “We will support him as he proceeds through this weekly process of strict criteria to ensure that it is safe to go back to play. Doctors indicated that his condition is unlikely to be again. We are grateful that it was identified and given medicine quickly, which helps in recovery.”
Lylad is taking blood and thin medicine, which has stabilized blood clots, ESPN noted,

It is a matter of regret for the rupee, they may have some kind of indication of how much time it takes to Lylad. San Antonio Spider Superstar Victor Vembanyama revealed a blood clot in his shoulder last month, and the spurs immediately put him out for the rest of the season.
It should be noted that San Antonio was not fighting for a playoff space when Vibanyama was diagnosed. Milwauki is currently the fifth seed at the Eastern Conference. Passes and piston are within 2.5 games of each other in the box and fellow division’s fellow standing, four-seeds and Detroit sitting in sixth position with Indiana.
