Alonzo Mourning Expresses Surprise Over Optimism Surrounding Damian Lillard’s Blood Clot Situation

Luckily, the doctors acted swiftly and pinpointed that the pain in Lillard’s right leg was due to a blood clot. This timely diagnosis allowed him to start treatment with blood thinners right away, boosting confidence in his full recovery without any hitches. Sadly, though, there’s no clear indication of when he’ll be back in action. Before the game, Rivers commented on the situation, “When you hear ‘blood clot,’ it’s scary, whether you’re talking sports or just life in general.” He continued, “Keeping him calm was crucial. I’m really proud of our medical team—they did everything right. Honestly, I’ve lost track of how many doctors we consulted. I’m quite done with seeing doctors for now! But the thoroughness of their care really helped put Dame at ease, which was our main goal.” — as reported by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel on March 27, 2025.
