Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard and forward Jerami Grant are active for Sunday’s game against the Houston Rockets, according to Sean Highkin of The Rose Garden Report. Both Lillard and Grant sat out for rest purposes against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.
Chauncey Billups says Damian Lillard and Jerami Grant will be active and playing tomorrow vs. Houston.
This comes as no surprise. It was widely speculated that Lillard and Grant were rested due to the team’s suboptimal travel situation. The Trail Blazers spent seven hours aboard a plane for a flight that was eventually cancelled due to a winter storm, before driving home in bumper-to-bumper traffic and catching a late flight the next day.
