Live broadcast, March 28-famous Shams talked about the current situation of Lillard in the program FanDuelTV today.
Shams said: “I was told that Lillard basically won’t play the rest of the season. At the end of last weekend, they had 9 matches left, and he was just dealing with a calf injury, so they chose to call him off. However, I think more reason is that the Trailblazers have a gap of 4.5 wins from the seats in the play-offs. Considering the situation of the remaining matches, their season is basically over. They also have this year’s lottery ranking to protect the first round of picks, so they have the motivation to enter the lottery area, keep the lottery sign, and see if they can try their luck to enter the top three or top five of the lottery draw. Then they can use this selection right to select people or trade.
When analyzing the situation of Lillard, you must wonder if he will play another game for the Blazers. They missed the playoffs for two consecutive years, and they also traded Grant for him. He is 32 years old and will be 33 years old in July. Where is his future? I think Lillard will have some real dialogues with the management during the offseason to discuss how to strengthen the team. If they can’t do it, how will they deal with Lillard and his future?”
According to previous reports, Lillard will continue to lack Pelicans due to the tension of his right calf today. Previously, sources said that in order to protect Lillard’s health, the Blazers tend to let him miss the rest of the season.
