Milwaukee Bucks star guard Damian Lillard is returning to the court to play in Tuesday's Game 2 of the team's first-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers, he said before the game. Lillard, who was upgraded to questionable on Monday, has not played since March 18 due to a blood clot in his right calf, but has made a swift recovery.

The trade for Lillard made the Bucks an immediate NBA Finals contender. After finishing as the No. 3 seed in the East with a 49-33 record in their first season together, Antetokounmpo did not play in a 4-2 series loss to the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs.
