Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard won't play Saturday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Erik Gundersen of The Columbian's Blazers Blog.
The 25-year-old has missed the last two games as he battles plantar fasciitis. Prior to the injury, Lillard hadn't missed a game in his career, playing 275 contests since being drafted.
The Trail Blazers (11-20) have yet to win in Lillard's absence, giving up 110.5 points per game during that span.
Lillard has been a stat-sheet stuffer in 2015-16, leading the Blazers in points (24.6), assists (6.8), minutes (36.5), and player efficiency rating (21.5).
C.J. McCollum should continue to start in Lillard's stead.
