The Portland Trail Blazers will be missing Damian Lillard when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers this evening. Jason Quick of the Athletic broke the news that the point guard will miss the game due to an abdominal strain. It had been speculated that Lillard might play through the injury. Lillard’s injury certainly tests an already depleted line-up, with multiple players out for other injuries.
Blazers will have 9 available players tonight after ruling out Damian Lillard (abdominal strain), Derrick Jones Jr. (foot sprain), Nassir Little (knee sprain), CJ McCollum (broken foot), Jusuf Nurkic (broken wrist) and Zach Collins (ankle surgery).
