According to Chris Haynes, Lillard successfully underwent abdominal surgery and is expected to be re-evaluated after 5-6 weeks.
In a recent interview, he spoke about the decision to operate. He said: "It's hard, I like to play. But as I gained experience, I learned to be flexible. My self-esteem might tell me, 'Keep playing and get ahead of the playoffs.'" But my sanity tells me that I can't do that when I'm not at my personal best. My physical state is far from what I think. ”
Speaking about his recovery after surgery, he said: "I've uninstalled all the Tweets and Ins on my phone. I'm going to leave for a while and focus on my rehabilitation. When I recover, they will see a more special me than before. ”
Lillard is averaging 24 points, 4.1 rebounds and 7.3 assists this season, shooting 40.2 percent from the field and 32.4 percent from three-point range.
