Damian Lillard is the latest star to praise Ja Morant’s fearlessness. The Grizzlies point guard put it on display in an “important” momentum game against the Bulls last night. dailymemphian.com/section/sports… – 4:23 PM

More on this storyline
Sean Highkin: I asked Joe Cronin what the chances are that Damian Lillard could play again this season if he’s cleared. He said it’s “most likely” Dame doesn’t play again this season. Says he’s doing well with his rehab but given where the season is at, doesn’t make sense for him to return. -via Twitter @highkin / February 10, 2022
Casey Holdahl: Damian Lillard doing some very light shooting after practice. It’s been 25 days since he underwent surgery. -via Twitter @CHold / February 7, 2022
How is Damian Lillard’s recovery coming along? Joe Cronin: It’s coming along great. The surgery was a success. That had been bothering him for years and years. It’s a big relief for him to finally address it. The hope that comes with it is knowing it’s a lot better and that this is really going to enhance his game and hopefully prolong his career. Is there any clarity on when he might return? Joe Cronin: No. We’re going to be patient and make sure he’s fully healed physically and mentally. I think the break for him is really good. These years really ran together the last three. The weight that he carries, that’s a lot. The way he carried through that injury. Physically, we want to make sure he’s good. Mentally, we want to make sure he’s refreshed and ready to go whenever he comes back. -via NBA.com / February 3, 2022
