In a recent interview, Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard provided an interesting update on his recovery from an Achilles injury.

Lillard injured his Achilles late in the season, thus leading the Bucks to make the controversial decision to waive-and-stretch him. Even so, he’s in good spirits and, judging by his latest words, doing just fine with his rehab.

Cutting through all the goodwill and excitement, what will Lillard’s reappearance really mean for the Blazers, though? That question has been asked multiple times in the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag. We’ll tackle it today.
