Trail Blazers G Lillard confirms he has separated ribs

Portland Trail Blazers star guard Damian Lillard confirmed Sunday that he is playing with separated ribs on his left side. Lillard said the injury occurred in the third quarter in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals when Golden State Warriors big man Kevon Looney fell on him during a scramble for the ball. "There's nothing you can really do about it," Lillard told reporters.
