Blazers star Damian Lillard out vs. Nuggets with lower abdominal pain
Lillard has reportedly been dealing with the problem since the Olympics
Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets with lower abdominal pain. The All Star guard has struggled to start the season, shooting below 40% from the field and below 30% from 3-point range.
The Blazers officially ruled Lillard out with “lower abdominal tendinopathy.” The player had been dealing with an abdominal problem while playing for Team USA at the Olympics this summer but maintained that an injury is not the reason for his recent stretch of poor play, in a season which is seeing him averaging 20 points and 8 assists per game.
