Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard will undergo surgery for a lingering abdominal injury and will be out six to eight weeks, per Yahoo! Sports's Chris Haynes. The news of the procedure was confirmed by ESPN and The Athletic, although The Athletic reported Lillard will be out indefinitely and didn't mention a specific timeline.
Lillard has been dealing with the injury since the beginning of January. It was initially announced that he would miss three games with the injury, but then the team announced he would be out another six games while undergoing “further evaluation and consultation concerning his lower abdominal tendinopathy,” according to NBA.
