The Milwaukee Bucks will be without Damian Lillard indefinitely after he suffered deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot, in his right calf.

Before this trip, Bucks coach Doc Rivers told reporters that Damian Lillard might travel with the team. Lillard is not on the trip, but the Bucks have "much more hope today than we did three days ago" regarding Lillard's return, per Rivers.
