Damian Lillard (concussion) available Monday

Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard will be available to play in Monday's game against the Utah Jazz, the team announced Saturday.

Lillard missed Portland's last two games after suffering a concussion in Wednesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets.

The All-Star guard was cleared to return to practice on Saturday and participated in the team's full shootaround.

Lillard is averaging 29.8 points and 7.2 assists per game this season.

His return is a big boost for the Trail Blazers, who have lost four of their last five games.

Portland is currently sixth in the Western Conference standings.

Lillard's status for Monday's game had been up in the air after he was diagnosed with a concussion on Thursday.

However, he was able to progress through the league's concussion protocol quickly and is now cleared to play.

The Trail Blazers will be hoping that Lillard can help them snap their losing streak and get back on track.
