It was Chris Haynes who dropped the info in the middle of a match between Clippers and Blazers: Damian Lillard would be aiming for a return among his friends in less than a week. Good news for the Blazers, in distress without their leader.
According to what the insider of NBA on TNT, Oregon fans will have the good surprise to see Damien once more in uniform very soon. December 4 to be exact. It’s this Sunday, when Portland will host the Pacers from a Tyrese Haliburton boiling hot.

Not spared by injuries and currently affected in the calf, Lillard has already missed 10 of the Blazers’ 21 games this season. If the first series of absences had been relatively well managed by his teammates (3 games won, 2 lost), the last games without Lady brought almost only defeats in Oregon. The Blazers effectively ended their four-game road trip with a single win in New York, before losing their fourth loss in five games once morest the Clippers tonight.
Still, Portland stunned early in the season, even taking the lead in the West with an MVP-caliber Lillard and a massive Jerami Grant, taking over from Dame from time to time. If the Blazers then fueled 10 wins for 4 losses, they now have a record of 11 successes and 10 failures. Is it only due to the absence of their leader, or did the men of Chauncey Billups simply outperform?
