Damian Lillard is suffering with a blood clot, and at 34 years old he's getting closer to retirement.

But according to Lillard himself, he doesn't think that will happen anytime soon:

"I definitely don't see myself as somebody who's just hanging on. I know I'll be able to play until I'm 39, 40," Lillard said, per Hoops Hype.

"It's all a feeling thing. You'll know when you know. That's all it is-a feeling," Lillard added. "Because I'm in a position where I'm going to get to walk away from it," Lillard concluded.
