Damian Lillard will be out for at least 10 days after an exam confirmed lower abdominal tendinopathy.
He will be re-examined after 10 days.
This is not the first time that Lillard has been out with an injury, as he missed a game against the Denver Nuggets in November. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that the athlete played through an abdominal injury.
It's possible that his abdominal ailment has hampered him. In 20 games, the six-time All-Star is averaging 21.5 points on 39.7 percent shooting and 7.8 assists.
There is speculation that Portland could be in the market for a trade. The veteran was linked to trade rumors after he expressed frustration following a first-round playoff loss.
Anfernee Simons and Dennis Smith Jr. will be relied on at point guard. In 21 games, the first-round pick is averaging 12.5 points, 2.8 rebound and 2.2 assists.
The Portland Trail blazers are 11-11 on the season and are in a tie for 9th place in the Western Conference with the Denver Nuggets.
