Lillard suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Blazers’ Feb. 12th game at the Memphis Grizzlies, just prior to the All-Star break. Lillard did not play in the All Star game or its festivities (aside from his rap performance), and has not returned since. The Blazers are 1-4 in his absence.
Portland visits the Orlando Magic on Monday night before hosting the Wizards on Wednesday at Moda Center.
