Update: Lillard will play Friday versus the Clippers in Portland, according to Shams Charania. He missed Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies for the birth of his son.
Original article follows:
Damian Lillard welcomed his son, Damian Jr., into the world Thursday morning with a post on Instagram. Lillard finally got the message about the arrival of his son just as the Portland Trail Blazers topped the New Orleans Pelicans in a tightly contested game Tuesday night. Lillard took off from New Orleans on a private plane soon after.
Congratulations and best wishes to Lillard and his family during this time.
