Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard left Wednesday night’s game against the Heat with a calf injury after a play in which he stepped on a defender’s foot and came up gingerly. The team ruled him out for the remainder of the game shortly afterward.
The play occurred midway through the third quarter. While being guarded by Caleb Martin near the three-point line, Lillard was doubled by Jimmy Butler and used a step-back move to set up a pass. As he attempted to get rid of the ball, he stepped on Martin’s foot and slipped, turning the ball over and immediately limping away from the play.
