It may not be under the best of circumstances, however Damian Lillard is happy to be back with his 2-year-old son after leaving the NBA bubble due to injury … saying, “This is good for the soul.”
The Trail Blazers superstar left Orlando on Thursday to seek treatment for a sprained knee he had earlier this week against the Lakers … and it’s unclear whether he will return.
It’s a HUGE bummer to let Dame down with injuries – he played light out in the bubble and hit himself LeBron James and the top-seeded Lakers in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs.
The 30-year-old appears to be in great spirits despite the bad news, saying, “Injured finger … Lateral knee disorder … but this is good for the soul … missed my baby boy ❤️.”
The bubble has proven to be a challenge for players who are forced to be away from their loved ones for months …. and Paul George recently talked about the environment that takes a toll on his mental health as you go through a battle.
Nice to see Dame and Damian Jr. get some Lady Time together.
