Damian Lillard remains out with a calf strain, and missed Portland’s 118-112 loss to the Clippers on Tuesday night.

The game was nationally televised on TNT with Brian Anderson and Reggie Miller on the call, and Lillard joined the duo during second quarter action to talk about the squad.

Lillard talked about Anfernee Simons development, Jerami Grant’s fit, and his relationship with head coach Chauncey Billups.
