Damian Lillard, who was injured in the Portland loss tonight in Memphis (104: 111), will miss Chicago's upcoming All-Star weekend. One of the league's hottest stars of the recent period, injured in the groin in the last quarter, went down to the locker rooms and did not return until the game was over.

Lillard, who had contributed 20 points and 10 assists until the end of the decisive quarter, will undergo an MRI test over the next 24 hours, but in any case will not play a part in the Ulstar game where he was to be part of the LeBron James team, and in the threesome competition Should attend a day earlier.

"My health is ahead of all," explained Portland's Guard at the end. "It's clear now that I will not be attending the upcoming Ulstar nor will I take part in the threesome competition. Forcing myself to participate only because of the sense of missing out, which can nest in me. "

Currently, it is still unclear who will replace Lillard, although some reports in the US insist that those who receive the honor will be Devin Booker, the sparkling sling of the Phoenix Suns.
