Damian Lillard To Play In Game 2

[RealGM Wiretap]

Damian Lillard will return to the Milwaukee Bucks' lineup for Game 2 of their first round series against the Indiana Pacers. Lillard was upgraded to questionable on Monday.

Lillard has not played since March 18, with what was eventually diagnosed as deep vein thrombosis. The veteran point guard has been on blood thinners, but was recently cleared to begin contact practices ahead of the playoffs.

The Bucks enter Game 2 on Tuesday trailing 0-1 to the Pacers.

I sure hope he's not just finding a doctor who will tell him what he wants to hear. I don't think any of the other players have been cleared until months after they were off blood thinners.
