Portland Trail Blazers’ star point guard Damian Lillard will miss his second consecutive game as he sits out for Wednesday’s matchup against the Miami Heat. According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Lillard is sitting out this contest due to a lingering abdominal injury that has caused him to miss games earlier in this season.
