Damian Lillard to me on his diagnosis:Its unfortunate that something outside of my control would come up.
Along with the Bucks medical staff, our priorities are to protect my health and safety.
As much as I love basketball, I need to be there for my kids and my family.
Im grateful the Bucks acted quickly on this.
Theyve been supportive and proactive throughout this process.
I look forward to moving past this and continuing my career.
you might’t screw around with calf injuries, as Bucks fans know, so Dame sitting made sense.
Unfortunately, it’s not just a calf strain or calf soreness.
From the basketball side, it’s a devastating blow to the Bucks.
That’s a brutal gut punch 10 games before a playoff run, no matter how you slice it.
Especially since last year’s Bucks run had its own season ending injuries to deal with.
Above all else you need health and luck on your side.
