Trail Blazers look to make playoff push starting against Pelicans

As you might recall, it hasn’t been all that long since these two squads went to war. Just nine days ago, the Portland Trail Blazers suffered a crippling 117-138 defeat to the New Orleans Pelicans, who are also putting together a compelling case for the postseason.

To make matters worse, Damian Lillard suffered a groin injury in the blowout loss that has had him sidelined ever since. While these injuries typical only last the span of a few weeks, it’s been difficult extracting a clear timetable for his return from the organization.

In an interview with Rip City Radio on Tuesday, head coach Terry Stotts delivered a concerning statement regarding the superstar’s health.
