LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla (AP) — Former Weber State Wildcat Damian Lillard left Game 4 of the Portland Trail Blazers’ playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers because of a right knee injury.

He left the floor for a time after his knee appeared to buckle, then returned briefly before leaving again.
The team sent a tweet after the game updating followers that the MRI was inconclusive and that Lillard would undergo a second MRI Tuesday afternoon.
Lillard, a five-time All-Star for the Trail Blazers, averaged 30 points and eight rebounds in the regular season.
