The abdomen does not leave Damian Lillard calm. The Blazers point guard, who missed five games in November with abdominal tendinopathy, will be absent for at least the next three for the same reason; as reported by the Oregon organization.
Portland has decided that its star stops playing to conduct a thorough evaluation of the area, since the discomfort has not completely subsided. It will be in a week when a new report on the status of Lillard is issued.
Regarding the origin of the problem, this would be in the Tokyo Olympics. In such a tournament he began to feel pain in the area, but Lillard’s choice was to play to help the United States win gold. It seemed that the period between the two competitions would help him recover, but it has finally had a direct impact on the Blazers.
The low of point guard it is a new blow in the troubled season of the Blazers. After eight consecutive seasons in the playoffs, they are currently 14-22 that places them 12th in the Western Conference. Without Lillard or CJ McCollum, also injured, the Oregonians have before them some games that could be decisive to lift the season or say goodbye definitively.
