Despite a 133-123 victory over the Phoenix Suns, the Milwaukee Bucks have slipped to sixth place in the Eastern Conference, meaning they won't have home-court advantage during the playoffs. Part of this is because of star guard Damian Lillard missing time due to a blood clot issue. Fortunately, it seems the NBA All-Star will be coming back.
NBA insider Shams Charania recently revealed that the Bucks are optimistic Lillard could return in a week, meaning he would be able to play during the postseason. This is huge news for Milwaukee since he is the best offensive weapon on the team behind Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Speaking of Antetokounmpo, many experts still believe the Bucks will try and trade the two-time NBA MVP who was responsible for leading them to an NBA Championship in 2021. However, one pundit believes that time could soon be up for a potential trade option.
