Damian Lillard underwent surgery on an abdominal injury six weeks ago. The Portland Trail Blazers say their star guard has progressed through the initial phase of rehab without any setbacks.
Portland added that Lillard will now move to the reconditioning phase of his rehab process. Lillard will be re-evaluated in two-to-three weeks.
Lillard last played on December 31. He said that advice during the Olympics from Jrue Holiday, who had a similar abdominal injury, convinced him to have the surgery. Lillard said the injury had bothered him on-and-off for nearly seven years.
