Damian Lillard Says Job Remains Unchanged In Light Of Neil Olshey Allegations
Damian Lillard said his duty with the Portland Trail Blazers will remain the same while the franchise opens an investigation into president of basketball operations Neil Olshey.
Olshey is under investigation for workplace misconduct.
"The games continue. Our jobs continue. And that's all we can do," Lillard said Saturday after scoring a game-high 25 points in a 105-90 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. "That's what we can control is doing our job and being prepared, and me being here for 10 years now and being a big part of this organization and this team, it's my job to continue to do that the way that I have. And that's what I can control and that's what I'll do."
Lillard has been with the Blazers since 2012, just a few weeks after Olshey was hired to run the front office.
"I think the best way to lead is to focus on leading the team," Lillard said. "We play basketball, and my job is to be the point guard and the captain of this team. And to continue to do that."
