(Portland, OR) -- The Trail Blazers say guard Damian Lillard will be out for the rest of the season as he recovers from surgery earlier this year. Lillard underwent abdominal surgery in January. He has met several key performance benchmarks and will continue end-stage rehab over the next few weeks. Lillard's last game was on December 31st. He aggravated his abdominal injury playing for Team USA at the Tokyo Olympics last summer and it continued to be a problem during this season.
