Regarding groin injuries in general: "You never know. Could be a week. Could be a month."
Lillard, after playing 37 minutes, exited in the final stages of the Blazers’ 111-104 loss to the Grizzlies on Feb. 12. According to comments from the interview on Tuesday, Stotts was under the impression that Lillard would be evaluated upon his return from Chicago. The Blazers return to action on Friday against the Pelicans.
