Damian Lillard Bothered By A Calf Strain
2 years agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard missed the end of Wednesday's loss to Miami with a right calf strain. He noted after the game that his calf was feeling tight already before tip-off. It tightened up even more over the course of the game and Lillard decided to exit. He added that he would've continued to play if this would've been a playoff game, so it looks like the ailment isn't too serious, but Lillard said that he will likely skip Friday's contest against Houston. Rookie Shaedon Sharpe, who had the best game of his young career on Wednesday with 15 points and eight rebounds, is set for a bigger role with Lillard out, and there should be more shots available for Anfernee Simons, Jerami Grant and Josh Hart.
