Damian Lillard’s loss may come to an end this Sunday against the Utah Jazz. That is exactly the information handled by the journalist Chris Haynes, who points out that such a game is the goal of the Blazers star, who has missed the last five games for the Oregon team due to a problem in the soleus of his right leg.
Lillard, who returned to action this season after having to undergo surgery for an abdominal injury, has already been absent for up to 10 games this season, as he also previously suffered a calf ailment.
His loss is being a hard blow for a Blazers who have only won one of their last five games and who are out of the playoff spots with a record of 11-10.
Surely Chauncey Billups, who has stressed that his star is feeling better, will be delighted to once again have the 26.3 points and 7 assists that he is averaging this season. Portland’s roster has improved since the previous season, but not enough to live long periods of time without its best player.
