Portland Trail Blazers superstar point guard Damian Lillard has never been afraid to go back at fans on Twitter and that trend continued on Tuesday.

Damian Lillard created headlines a few weeks ago when he said he wasn't going to play in meaningless games if the 2019-20 season resumed. The Blazers are among the 22 teams that will be at Walt Disney World. Lillard and Co. will fight for one of the last playoff spots in the West.

Dame will obviously be playing now since the Blazers have a shot of making the 2020 playoffs. With that said, the All-Star point guard is also going to use his platform to spread awareness about police brutality. Lillard even addressed police brutality in a song he recently dropped on Soundcloud.

Before the 2019-20 season was suspended in March, Lillard was averaging 28.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists for the Blazers in 58 games. He was also shooting 45.7 percent from the field, 39.4 percent from beyond the arc and 88.8 percent from the free-throw line.

A total of nine teams will be fighting for the three remaining playoff spots. In the Eastern Conference, the Brooklyn Nets, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards are in the race for two spots.

In the West, the Blazers, Memphis Grizzlies, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns will battle it out.
