I don’t think Damian Lillard being out changes anything for him being traded. But I do think it opens the Blazers up to do moves they might not have otherwise. Nurkic and Covington for sure, since they are on expiring deals., Maybe Powell. Maybe McCollum.
Reset w/ a high pick. – 5:45 PM

Damian Lillard is planning to have surgery in the near future to address a lingering abdominal injury, sources told ESPN. The procedure isn’t expected to be season-ending but that is to be determined. – 5:26 PM

Granted, it’s a rescheduled game — on a Monday night without Lillard and several other key guys for the Blazers — but in all my years traveling out to Portland I have never seen this place so empty. Maybe half-full at tip-off. – 10:11 PM

Game 42. The quit game. After a bad first half of the season, the Kings opened the second half with another epic lay down. Facing a Blazers team missing Dame, C.J. and Powell, the Kings were slow, lethargic and all around pathetic. Here are 6 quick thoughts from the 103-88 loss. – 11:20 PM
