Blazers' Damian Lillard dislocates left index finger; X-rays negative
Portland Trail Blazers star guard Damian Lillard left Thursday's 111-88 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in the third quarter with a dislocated left index finger.
X-rays on Lillard's finger were negative, the team announced. Lillard, who scored 18 points on 6-of-14 shooting in 30 minutes, did not return to the game.
He appeared to injure his hand reaching on defense during a drive to the basket by Lakers star Anthony Davis. Lillard was shaking his head and appeared frustrated as he left the sidelines while being attended to by his team's athletic training and medical staff.
Game 3 is Saturday at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World.
