The Milwaukee Bucks will be without Damian Lillard for the start of the team's NBA playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. Milwaukee revealed that the team is still holding out hope that Lillard will be able to suit up at some point during the first round.

Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has been cleared of his deep vein thrombosis in his calf and has been taken off blood-thinning medication, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
