Portland's Damian Lillard (calf) to be reevaluated in 1-2 weeks

Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has a Grade 1 strain of his right calf and will be reevaluated in 1-2 weeks, the team announced Thursday.

An MRI taken Thursday confirmed the strain.

Lillard suffered the injury with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Miami Heat. He went straight to the locker room and did not return.

After the loss, Lillard said the calf felt a little tight before tipoff and persisted throughout the first half. He received treatment on it and put some compression on it at halftime, only to strain it in the third quarter.
