Lillard made his debut after surgery! He posted a rehabilitation video to attract attention, and season reimbursement is a foregone conclusion

On June 2, Bucks star Damian Lillard updated his updates on his personal social media, posting his rehabilitation training video after undergoing left Achilles tendon repair surgery for the first time, which attracted widespread attention from fans. The Bucks' official Twitter also quickly retweeted the news, showing the team's support for its recovery process. In the video, Lillard is conducting a slow walking training on the treadmill, with his pace cautious but his posture stable. This is the positive recovery progress that fans have finally seen since he suffered a serious injury.

Looking back on Lillard's injury history, it can be said to be twists and turns: at the end of March this year, he encountered a deep vein thrombosis in his right calf, but he quickly returned in less than a month, catching up with the G2 against the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs. However, fate is a big deal. In this round of the series, Lillard was hit by a torn left Achilles tendon again. He then underwent left Achilles tendon repair surgery, and the medical team predicted that he would miss the entire 2025-26 season and would be nowhere to be returned to the field.

This season, Lillard played 58 games in the regular season, and delivered comprehensive data of 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, shooting percentage of 44.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of up to 92.1%. But entering the playoffs, injuries seriously affected his form. In three games, he averaged only 7.0 points per game, and his shooting and three-point shooting percentages fell to 22.2% and 18.8% respectively, and his efficiency dropped sharply.
