Last week Chauncey Billups confided that a discussion would take place between Damian Lillard and the staff to make the best decision about his abdominal concern (pubalgia). According to Brian Windhorst he would have decided to undergo abdominal injury) plans to have surgery”>surgery tomorrow. Chris Haynes reports that he will be reassessed in 6 to 8 weeks.
He had already been hampered at the Olympic Games by this concern, which has not disappeared since and which limited him quite a bit in this first part of the season. This season he is only 24 points at only 40.2% including 32.4% from far, 4.1 rebounds and 7.3 assists.
This does not suit the Blazers, already very disappointing, also deprived of CJ McCollum.
Damian Lillard is planning to have surgery in the near future to address a lingering abdominal injury, sources told ESPN. The procedure isn’t expected to be season-ending but that is to be determined.
