Damian Lillard “jammed” his hand during the Blazers’ 88-82 win over the Indiana Pacers. As Lillard explained after the game, he was fouled and went down awkwardly and thought it might be broken. Thankfully, X-rays came up clean. If Twitter is blocked at work, you can see the image here.

At 15-4, the Blazers are currently one of the top three teams in the West, but the margin between No. 1 (Golden State) and No. 7 (LA Clippers) is just three games. The Blazers can ill-afford an injury to Lillard in the loaded West.
