Sam Amick: When it first went down, I was really surprised to hear that there was a significant amount of optimism from (Damian Lillard)’s people — that he’d be able to return. Now, I’ll be sincere with you, there’s not a medical diploma on this wall behind me, as you possibly can inform. However what I had realized about deep vein thrombosis is that sometimes, you’d need to take blood thinners for at the very least three months. That didn’t reconcile with the extent of optimism that they had. I used to be informed he noticed 5 completely different hematologists to get a bunch of opinions, and so they all insisted there’s motive for optimism. We’ll see if that finally ends up being well-founded. I do know he was on blood thinners even a few days earlier than the information got here out. Early returns had been good — the clot was getting smaller. -via YouTube / April 2, 2025
