Lillard is the tied for third as the longest tenured NBA player to remain with the team that he was drafted by, joining Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. His career on court earnings is now $436 million. That ranks only behind Kevin Durant, Curry and Beal. – 5:19 PM

I spoke to Damian Lillard Thursday night and his agent, Aaron Goodwin on Friday.
Both refuted the NY Post’s source who claimed that Trail Blazers chair Jody Allen ignored the 6-time All-Star’s requests to speak to her

For @RoseGardenReprt subscribers: I didn’t take Damian Lillard’s comments to @CassidyHubbarth last night as a shot at Shaedon Sharpe, but as a challenge to him to show he’s more than a “mystery man” rosegardenreport.beehiiv.com/p/shaedon-shar…

Blazers guard Damian Lillard tells @CassidyHubbarth that he feels great after surgery that ended his season early. “I wanted to fight through it. … It got to the point where I had to play it smarter.”
Now, he says, “my body is stronger than it was before in certain areas.” – 12:57 AM
