Today, ESPN reporter Jamal Collier wrote an article about some of Lillard's situation.
Durant returns strongly from a serious Achilles tendon injury in 2019, although he missed the entire 2019-20 season, which led a Western Conference executive to believe that Lillard can still perform well in the future. "Lillard is a player as smart as KD, with high ball skills and top offensive ability," said the executive. "Their offense will remain high for a long time." The executive also made another comparison, Dominic Wilkins tore his Achilles tendon in 1992, but was selected twice afterwards. Wilkins returned after recovering from injury for 10 months, played 71 games in his comeback season and ranked fifth in the 1993 MVP vote.
However, he also pointed out that Wilkins was 32 years old when he was injured.
"Lillard's biggest challenge is how many years older than those players who have returned strongly from serious Achilles tendon injuries," the executive said.
Lillard is 35 years old this year.
