Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers offered a slight update on star point guard Damian Lillard, who remains sidelined with deep vein thrombosis in his right calf. "Everything is still progressing positively," Rivers told reporters on Thursday. "Last test was fantastic. So, you know, that's about all I have. Fingers crossed."

If Lillard misses the playoffs, it will be the second straight year he will miss games in the postseason due to his health. Last year, he missed two of the team's six first-round games in the series loss to the Indiana Pacers while battling an Achilles injury. He averaged 31.3 points in the four games he played.
