Damian Lillard will represent the Portland Trail Blazers at the 2019 NBA All-Star Game as a reserve, it was announced on TNT. It will be Lillard’s fourth All-Star Game appearance in his career (he was an injury replacement in 2015 for Blake Griffin).
Lillard is averaging 26.4 points, 6.3 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game in yet another stellar season. The star has impressed with his offense, for sure, but he’s also made efforts on defense and can regularly be seen setting the tempo for the team by diving for loose balls and the like.
