NBA Twitter reacts as Trailblazers star Damian Lillard finally finds his groove again against the 76ers

 

Man did we miss Damian Lillard!

For those that are clueless on the matter, no he wasn’t out injured. And no, he did not end up taking a Kyrie Irving-esque vacation from the team. He just wasn’t himself so far this season.

The man had bad shooting nights on top of bad shooting nights, to the point where his averages for this season stand at 21.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 8.1 assists while shooting 39.0% from the field, and 29.1% from three. In case you were wondering, those numbers are beyond terrible.

To be fair to Dame, it was recently revealed that he was playing through a core-related injury. However, at the time, many believed it was nothing more than an excuse.

Fast forward to today, and suddenly, we have a breakout-esque performance from the Blazers star. And let’s just say, NBA Twitter was absolutely loving it.
