Lillard helped spark a second-quarter run that blew the game open, scoring on a three-point play in the lane. Two games into his comeback from a torn Achilles, he's looked comfortable sharing ball-handling duties with Deni Avdija and is in line to start at point guard.

Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Scores 15 points with three treys
Rotowire
Lillard finished with 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 19 minutes in Wednesday's 123-118 preseason win over the Warriors.
This was Lillard's first game back on the court since tearing his Achilles on March 18, 2025, and he didn't skip a beat, scoring in a variety of ways and burying multiple triples. He didn't hesitate to get his shot up and looked comfortable sharing the backcourt with new addition Ja Morant. It was an encouraging first step for Lillard, who will look to build on his strong return Tuesday in Sacramento.

Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: Could open camp with starters
Rotowire
Lillard may open training camp with Portland's starting group, according to Sam Amico of Hoops Wire.
With Lillard coming off an Achilles injury and now with a questionable fit alongside Ja Morant, the Portland backcourt has been one of the league's top camp storylines. The Trail Blazers open their preseason Wednesday against Golden State, and perhaps their first exhibition starting lineup will offer a hint to their plans for the regular season. Jrue Holiday is already expected to spend more time on the wing, so Portland could experiment with three-guard lineups featuring Lillard, Morant and Holiday at times.

Trail Blazers' Damian Lillard: No limitations for camp
Rotowire
Lillard (Achilles) is expected to enter training camp without limitations, according to Jason Quick of The Athletic.
Toumani Camara has matched up with Lillard during pre-camp workouts and was particularly impressed by the veteran guard's first step and speed following his lengthy rehabilitation. Lillard appears to be making significant progress ahead of his return to game action, though his workload and availability during the preseason will still be worth monitoring.
