Lillard misses third consecutive game Friday
Damian Lillard (ankle) has officially been ruled out of Friday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of Blazers.com reports.
Analysis:
Lillard was considered doubtful heading into Friday and with this announcement he'll be missing his third consecutive game. In his absence, C.J. McCollum is in line for a heavy usage rate while Allen Crabbe also sees more opportunities for playing time against a stingy San Antonio defense.
