The Blazers, already reeling from three consecutive playoff losses to the Lakers, are now awaiting word on the status of their best player.

Damian Lillard, who suffered a dislocated finger in Game 2, left Game 4 on Monday with a right knee injury and did not return. The injury occurred late in the third quarter when the five-time All-Star performed a jump-stop on a drive to the rim.

>>  Game 5: Lakers vs. Blazers, Wednesday (9 ET on TNT)

Lillard underwent an MRI following the game, but the team announced the results were "inconclusive," and that a second MRI would be performed Tuesday afternoon.

The Blazers' All-NBA superstar surged into the playoffs after being unanimously named the Kia NBA Player of the Seeding Games, an eight-game stretch in which he averaged 37.6 points and 9.6 assists while shooting 43.6% from beyond the 3-point arc.

Since the Blazers' stunning Game 1 win over the Lakers, however, Portland has faltered under the weight of a rejuvenated L.A. squad and mounting injuries. Recently returned forward Zach Collins was ruled out of the playoffs after a stress fracture was discovered in his ankle. CJ McCollum, meanwhile, has been playing with a fracture in his back.

The Lakers could close out the series with a Game 5 win on Wednesday (9 ET, TNT).
