Damian Lillard Out for the last games of the Regular Season?

In recent hours, the voice, still unconfirmed, has become increasingly insistent that Damian Lillard’s season has already ended.

The Portland Trail Blazers are in a difficult situation in the West regarding the fight for the Play-In, particularly contested in the West.

The management’s choice would serve to preserve their star for the last nine games that could turn out to be useless for the final standings. At the beginning of the week, Lillard had already hinted at the possibility that his season could end early.

We are in a streak of consecutive losses, we are probably already out of the race for the tenth position, we should win them all from now on. I love to play and I love competition, but I think there comes a point where playing just for your competitive nature no longer makes sense

This is likely the second consecutive season that will end without a playoff qualification, but it certainly cannot be blamed on Lillard, who at 32 years old ended the season with over 32 points and 7 assists on average.
