Damian Lillard Reunites With Son After Leaving NBA Bubble, ‘Good For The Soul’

It may not be under the best circumstances, but Damian Lillard is happy to be back with his 2-year-old boy after leaving the NBA bubble due to injury … saying, “This is good for the soul.”

The Trail Blazers superstar left Orlando on Thursday to seek treatment for a sprained knee he suffered against the Lakers earlier this week … and it’s unclear whether he will return.

It’s a HUGE bummer to have Dame go down with injuries — he was playing lights-out in the bubble and even beat LeBron James and the top-seeded Lakers in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs.

The 30-year-old appears to be in great spirits despite the bad news, saying, “Dislocated finger… Lateral knee sprain … but this is good for the soul … missed my baby boy .”

The bubble has proven to be a challenge for players who are forced to be away from loved ones for months …. and Paul George recently spoke about the environment taking a toll on his mental health while going through a slump.
