Following the loss to the Utah Jazz, Portland Trail Blazers’ point guard Damian Lillard reflected on the addition of personnel in recent days due to several players being in COVID-19 health and safety protocols, saying how he wants to provide a positive experience for the players called up from the G-League.
“It’s the first time, you know, being called up and that’s a blessing for them. You know, it’s a great opportunity and you know I think the first day that they got here it was like, you know, I could be upset and frustrated that our team is going through this, but you know, I put myself in their shoes, you know, they’re getting their first opportunity, they’re excited, and they’re looking forward to it, you know.
