Milwaukee Bucks All-Star guard Damian Lillard has been cleared for full basketball activity, the team announced Thursday.

Granted, it's unclear if he will be cleared in time for any of the team's first-round matchup with the Indiana Pacers, a tough team in its own right that has become a fairly heated rival for these Bucks in recent years. The Bucks did win the season series 3-1, however, and finished the regular season on an eight-game winning streak.

When Milwaukee Bucks All-Star point guard Damian Lillard with deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot in his calf, many wondered if he would ever be able to play basketball again, much less make it back onto the court for the team’s NBA Playoffs run.
