FROM SHAMS:
Milwaukee Bucks: Damian Lillard has sustained a deep vein thrombosis (blood clot) in his right calf. Lillard is on blood-thinning medication, which has stabilized the blood clot, and will continue with regular testing. He is out indefinite period.
Not sure they could fake the medical report although it wouldn’t surprise me if you are right as it does coincide with their objectives.
