Damian Lillard injury update: December 20 vs. Cavaliers

Damian Lillard injury update: December 20 vs. Cavaliers

Updated:

By: Stan Son

Lillard was great in Tuesday’s 97-81 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder to secure the NBA Cup title. He produced 23 points, four rebounds, four assists and a steal in 35 minutes while shooting 6-of-12 from the field, 5-of-10 from downtown, and 6-of-7 from the line.

Unfortunately, he suffered a calf strain and has been ruled out for Friday’s contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Lillard missed three games in early November. Ryan Rollins started one and Delon Wright started the other two games. Both players were DNP’s on Tuesday, so there’s uncertainty as to how Doc Rivers will manage the rotations and starting lineup.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
