In postgame interviews with the Blazers'Casey Holdahl, LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard lamented the loss of Lopez. Aldridge said, "I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it. I can't get past that I don't like it". Lillard added, "I don't even want to have to think about playing without RoLo".
In his absence, backup big men Joel Freeland and Thomas Robinson covered for Lopez' minutes. There is no word on who will start in his absence.
We'll have more information as it comes available.
