• Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Cools off beyond the arc

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard racked up 19 points (7-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 128-120 victory over the Kings. Lillard tied Toumani Camara for second on the team in scoring but cooled off from deep, making just two of his 10 three-point attempts after hitting six in the opener. The veteran guard missed all of last season while rehabbing a torn Achilles tendon after rejoining Portland, and his early workload has been encouraging. Lillard and the Blazers visit the Lakers on Tuesday.

• Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Hits for game-high 25 in return to Portland

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard recorded 25 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 124-83 victory over the Suns. In his first actual game action since being re-acquired by Portland last July, Lillard produced game highs in points and made three-pointers. He looked good alongside Ja Morant in the Blazers' new-look backcourt, and Lillard seemed fully recovered from the Achilles injury that cost him all of 2025-26. The 36-year-old guard had averaged at least 24.0 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 boards and 3.0 threes in six straight seasons prior to the injury, and he seems more than capable of returning to that level of production.

• Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Game-high 23 points Friday

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Lillard finished Friday's 128-118 preseason loss to the Warriors with 23 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 13-13 FT), three assists and one rebound over 26 minutes. Lillard paced the Trail Blazers offensively, with 18 of the veteran point guard's 23 points coming in the first half. He looks fully healthy for the 2026-27 season after sitting out all of last year while rehabbing from a torn left Achilles tendon that he suffered during the 2024-25 playoffs as a member of the Bucks. The Trail Blazers' backcourt rotation this season is something to watch, given that the top-4 options consists of Lillard, Ja Morant, Jrue Holiday (rest) and Scoot Henderson.

  Lillard tallied 14 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 23 minutes in Tuesday's 110-98 preseason win over the Kings. Lillard helped spark a second-quarter run that blew the game open, scoring on a three-point play in the lane. Two games into his comeback from a torn Achilles, he's looked comfortable sharing ball-handling duties with Deni Avdija and is in line to start at point guard.
