OGDEN, Utah (AP) — Weber State will retire the jersey of Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard on Aug. 26.
The two-time All-Star will have his No. 1 retired during an alumni game in which he will be one of the coaches.
Lillard will be the third men's basketball player at Weber State to have his jersey retired, joining Willie Sojourner and Bruce Collins. He was a two-time Big Sky MVP and the only player in Big Sky history to be selected to an All-America team. He was named third-team in 2012.
Lillard was second in the country with 24.5 points per game during the 2011-12 season and finished his career with the third-most points (1,934) in school history. He was the No. 6 pick in the 2012 NBA draft and went on to be rookie of the year.
