Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard will play his first game back in Portland on Wednesday (10 p.m. EST on ESPN).

Lillard spent the first 11 years of his career with the Portland Trail Blazers prior to being traded to the Bucks last September. He's the franchise leader in points with 19,376 and 3-point field goals made with 2,387. He averaged fewer than 20 points per game in one season with the Trail Blazers.

He thanked the Portland fans in a rap song released after he was traded, but the fans haven't been able to thank him in person yet.
