It appears that All-Star Damian Lillard is inching closer to a return to action. According to Joe Freeman of the Oregonian, Lillard participated in portions of yesterday’s practice(full story here). This is welcome news to the Trail Blazers, who have been with out him for the previous four games (2-2). He is listed as questionable for tonight’s matchup against the Northwest Division rival Nuggets.
