Damian Lillard got distracted during the second quarter of the Portland Trail Blazers’ game against the Bulls in Chicago Monday because of something going on with his mom.

NBCSN Northwest’s Peter Socotch reported that Lillard talked to team security to address a situation going on with his mother.

Socotch believed that Lillard’s mom was upset over an incident with another fan.

Lillard has not played since Dec. 20 due to a hamstring injury, so he was not dressed for the game. He plans to return to action on Tuesday.

The Blazers were down 53-52 to the Bulls as of halftime.
