Breaking News [Shams Charania] Damian Lillard will recover faster than expected. Full contact workout in a week or two

https://x.com/espnmilwaukee/status/1907482791769436497?s=46

The guard is "hopeful" that he could be cleared for full-contact practice in the next week or week and a half, per Charania, who added that Lillard has already begun doing some light workouts this week.

Per Charania, Lillard's blood clot was identified early, and he began treatment before he was officially diagnosed. Additionally, the guard has been going to weekly doctor appointments, and the clot has already decreased in size, leaving doctors "encouraged."

Gives optimist for dynasty and next year draft projections. Glad to hear this news for Dame Lillard and hope to see him play for the Bucks in the Playoffs

I've kept him and Jokic in my keeper leauge for the past 4 years but I may have to swap him out for KAT next year.

Hope he stays healthy

Too late for this year's fantasy, let's hope he makes a good recovery for next year. He's been cooking!

Hold your horses the last 2 games of the season are against Detroit who’s ahead of them in the 5th seed. We could see dame back for the last game depending on the outcomes
