Damian Lillard spent the past couple of days on the Portland Trail Blazers injury report for personal reasons, resulting in a questionable designation for their Monday night contest. Whatever personal matters were impacting his availability have resolved, and the six-time All-Star will be in the lineup against the Dallas Mavericks.
Per Scott Brooks, Damian Lillard is available tonight and will start #ripcity
Lillard’s availability is a welcome addition for a Blazers’ squad dealing with a slew of players in health and safety protocols. Five players are unavailable for Portland as they await clearance to return to team activities.
