Damian Lillard plays well despite eye injury
Damian Lillard - G - Portland Trail Blazers
Jan. 28, 2013 - 12:15 AM ET

Damian Lillard overcame an early eye injury for 16 points, two rebounds, five assists, a steal, a block and two 3-pointers on 5-of-14 shooting in Sunday's loss to the Clippers.

Lillard's eye didn't look good when he was swiped in the face by Blake Griffin, but he stayed in the game and posted some solid numbers, outside of shooting and the five turnovers he committed. He's cooled off a bit, but should catch a second wind soon, and should be in starting fantasy lineups until further notice.
