Damian Lillard Will Be 'Re-Energized' After Being Left off of All-Star Roster

Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard has had a strong start to the season, averaging 21.8 points and 6.2 assists per game. Unfortunately, that apparently wasn't good enough for him to make the All-Star roster.

The 24-year-old was not selected as a reserve for the Western Conference All-Stars, but before the announcement, he talked about how he'd feel if he wasn't selected.

“If I do make it, I’ll be excited,” Lillard told Casey Holdahl from Forward Center. “I’m looking forward to being in another All-Star game. If I don’t, I’m going to be pissed off and you’ll see a re-energized Damian Lillard after the break. I’ll be re-energized anyway, but if I don’t make it, you’ll see it even more.”
