Report: Damian Lillard Playing Through Separated Ribs vs. Warriors in Conference Finals

Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is reportedly dealing with separated ribs, but is playing against the Warriors in the Western Conference finals despite the ailment, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Lillard appeared to suffer the injury during Game 2 of the series, when Golden State center Kevon Looney landed on him while diving for a loose ball in the third quarter of the contest.

Lillard remained in the game despite holding his side after the play. Portland held a 13-point lead prior to Lillard's injury in Game 2—which occurred with under nine minutes left in the third quarter—but went on to lose the matchup 114–111.
