Damian Lillard believes he is in the best physical shape of his career heading into the new season.
He is meeting regularly at early-morning training sessions.
"All he wants is to win. He has already proved himself and done everything else."
Lillard, 36, missed the whole of last season after rupturing his Achilles tendon during the 2025 NBA play-offs, and the Trail Blazers will be watching his recovery closely before opening night.
