Impact This was rumored to be a possibility just over a week ago, and now since Lillard is dealing with right calf soreness and the Blazers are 3.5 games out of the play-in race, it probably makes the most sense for both parties. While the shutdown hasn't been confirmed, it would be surprising for a report like this to come out and for Lillard to play in the team's remaining nine games. If the organization pulls the plug on Lillard, other starters like Anfernee Simons (foot), Jerami Grant (quadriceps) and Jusuf Nurkic (knee) are also at risk. That scenario, which seems quite possible, could lead to expanded roles for Shaedon Sharpe, Drew Eubanks, Kevin Knox and other assorted bench players for Portland.

Ruled out Friday Lillard (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.
Impact Lillard went from probable to questionable Friday morning, so fantasy managers probably saw this downgrade coming. In addition to Lillard, the Blazers are going to be without key players such as Jusuf Nurkic (knee), Anfernee Simons (foot) and Jerami Grant (quad). Shaedon Sharpe and Cam Reddish should be busy in this game, while Ryan Arcidiacono could pick up extended run too.

Downgraded to questionable Lillard (calf) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against Chicago.
Impact Lillard's status is murkier after the Trail Blazers updated their injury report Friday, but he'll still be in the mix to suit up against the Bulls. If he's sidelined, Ryan Arcidiacono and Shaedon Sharpe will likely see increased run.

Probable Friday Lillard is probable for Friday's game against Chicago due to right calf tightness.
Impact Lillard has posted three double-doubles over his last seven appearances, averaging 30.0 points, 9.1 assists and 7.0 rebounds in 36.6 minutes. Although he's dealing with a calf issue, he'll likely be able to suit up against the Bulls.

30/12 double-double in win Lillard logged 30 points (8-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 12-14 FT), seven rebounds and 12 assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 127-115 victory over the Jazz.
Impact Lillard bounced back from a poor shooting night against the Clippers, although he still had some struggles from downtown. Lillard made only two three-pointers in 10 attempts, but he sank 12 free throws and eight two-point baskets to make up for the deficiency. As usual, his secondary numbers helped to pad his fantasy total.
