Damian Lillard News, Rumors, Updates - Milwaukee Bucks | FOX Sports

Officially cleared Lillard (calf) will play Monday against the Heat, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.

Impact Lillard has been trending in the right direction all day, as he was upgraded to probable a few hours before tipoff after initially being tagged as questionable due to a right calf strain. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Trail Blazers monitor his minutes closely after missing the last four contests, though the coaching staff has yet to mention a minutes restriction.

Expected to play Monday Lillard (calf) is set to make his return Monday against the Heat, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Lillard missed four consecutive contests due to a right calf strain but will return to action on Monday. Through five games this season, Lillard has averaged 31.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 35.0 minutes per game. His return will hamper the production of Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons (foot).

Out again Lillard (calf) will remain sidelined for Saturday's matchup with the Heat, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.

Impact Lillard is hoping to return at some point during the Trail Blazers' six-game road trip, but it will not be Saturday. His next chance to return will come Monday in Miami. With Anfernee Simons (foot) also out, rookie Shaedon Sharpe should be in line for another healthy workload.

Remains out Friday Lillard (calf) will not make his return Friday against the Suns, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact The Trail Blazers are hopeful that Lillard will return at some point during their six-game road trip. However, his return will not come Friday. With that being said, Friday's tilt is the first half of a back-to-back set, so Lillard will have another chance to see the floor Saturday in a rematch with the Suns.

Could return for road trip Head coach Chauncey Billups confirmed that Lillard (calf) will remain out for Wednesday's home game against the Grizzlies, but the Trail Blazers hope to have the point guard back a...

Impact Lillard is expected to have his strained right calf re-evaluated before the Trail Blazers depart for Phoenix on Thursday, so clarity on his status could come in advance of Friday's contest. Even if Friday proves to be too ambitious for Lillard to make it back to the lineup, he sounds like he'll have a chance to suit up at some point during the remaining five games of the road trip, which concludes Nov. 12 in Dallas. When Lillard missed his first game this past Friday, rookie Shaedon Sharpe replaced him in the starting five and logged 29 minutes as an off-ball guard while Anfernee Simons manned the point.

Blazers' Lillard has calf strain, re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks

The Portland Trail Blazers said Damian Lillard has a minor right calf strain and he’ll be re-evaluated in one to two weeks

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

To be re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks Lillard (calf) will be re-evaluated in 1-to-2 weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lillard left Wednesday's loss to the Heat midway through the third quarter after suffering the injury. It appears he's avoided anything serious, but fantasy managers will still have to prepare for the star guard to miss potentially half a month. In his absence, Anfernee Simons should take on more usage, plus rookie Shaedon Sharpe may get more opportunities.

Likely out Friday with calf strain Lillard was removed from Wednesday's 119-98 loss to the Heat midway through the third quarter with a right calf strain and didn't return, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' offici...

Impact After an injury-shortened 2021-22 campaign, Lillard has gotten off to a hot start to his 12th NBA season, turning in averages of 31.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 4.0 three-pointers while shooting a magnificent 49.5 percent from the field through Portland's first five games. The calf strain presents an obstacle for Lillard to overcome, but he said he didn't need an MRI to address the injury and doesn't believe he'll miss significant time. According to Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland, Lillard said he doesn't expect to play in Friday's game against the Rockets, but he could be ready to go for the Blazers' subsequent contest Nov. 2 against the Grizzlies.
