Per Yahoo Sports NBA Senior Insider Chris Haynes, the Portland Trail Blazers are expected to have their six-time All-Star Damian Lillard in tonight’s game against the Miami Heat.
Lillard has missed the last four games, nursing a calf strain, an injury he suffered against those same Heat in a game a week-and-a-half ago. Lillard mentioned at that time that if it were a postseason game, he would’ve been able to play through it, signifying that it wasn’t a long-term worry.
In the absence of their longtime leader, the Blazers kept the ship steady, going an even 2-2 over the four-game stretch, including two Western Conference wins over the Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets.
