Lillard suffered a minor back injury during Thursday's game against the Heat, although he's not expected to miss any time as a result, Blazers' reporter Casey Holdahl reports.

Analysis:

Lillard said that he was dealing with some soreness in his lower back Friday after he twisted it awkwardly against the Heat. The fact that he's downplaying its severity means that the 24-year-old will more than likely be deployed as usual against the Magic on Saturday.
