Lillard, who is having a career year, is unlikely to take contempt well. He is currently averaging 29.8 points, 7.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. Rip City can expect Lillard to lose another 40 points in the Washington Wizards in the next Blazers competition.
Lillard will also participate in the 3-point contest during the All-Star festivities, which will take place on March 7.
