Damian Lillard Could Be Shut Down For The Season

With the Trail Blazers 3.5 games out of the play-in tournament and only having 9 games left to play, the organization is leaning towards shutting down Dame Time for the remainder of the season.

Lillard has spoken recently about playing it smart when there is nothing to compete for anymore in a season, it doesn’t come as a shock that he brought that up when knowing that he is dealing with a calf injury.

He has only played in 58 of Portland’s 73 games but has a career-high average in points. With that being said, as impressive as that is, it looks like his team will be missing the playoffs for a second consecutive season.

This was per Shams Charania of The Athletic as an announcement of the Blazers shutting him down could be happening within the coming days, that is to be determined.
