Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard is set to take his talents to Hollywood: Lillard will have a “key role” in Space Jam 2 — a sequel to the original that will star and be produced by the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James — according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Lillard is expected to be joined by Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis, Diana Taurasi, Nneka and Chiney Ogwumike, and others, per Charania:
