I know Dame is SO frustrated. I hate this for him and he just got back. But sometimes shit happens for a reason and we have to take heed. Hoping he heals up quickly and safely. ????????

Hopefully, it’s not an Achilles tendon tear for Lillard and something minor. If not, Lillard will have an uphill battle to get back on the court, but knowing his competitive spirit, it’ll be Dame Time before we know it.
