With just over 24 hours remaining until the NBA draft, signs appear to be pointing toward Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard remaining in Portland.
“The Blazers have shut down anybody who has tried to call about the possibility of trying to trade for [Lillard],” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said Wednesday afternoon in an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
Lillard, 32, has been linked to the Eastern Conference champion Heat this offseason. The future Hall of Famer averaged a career-high 32.2 points per game in 2023 over 58 games.
