Basketball player Lillard said Portland asked him to miss NBA games
American basketball player “Milwaukee Bucks” Damian Lillard revealed the scandalous machinations of the management of the National Basketball Association (NBA) club “Portland Trail Blazers”. His words are quoted by Sportskeeda.
The athlete said that team management asked him to skip games at the end of the NBA regular season for a higher place in the draft. “I wasn’t injured. Honestly, I wasn’t,” the 33-year-old player emphasized, adding that he only experienced problems with the calf muscle.
Lillard has played for Portland since 2012. In the summer of 2023, the point guard moved to Milwaukee as a result of a trade. He is a seven-time NBA All-Star.
On May 30, the court of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) imposed a fine on the Turin football club Juventus for wage fraud. The team will pay 718 thousand euros and waive any appeals in ongoing sports cases.
