2012–13 Portland Trail Blazers season

The 2012–13 Portland Trail Blazers season was the 43rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The off-season saw the team draft a pair of first round draft picks, future All-Star Damian Lillard was taken sixth overall and Meyers Leonard was taken 11th overall. Despite the team finishing in 11th place in the Western Conference with a mediocre 33–49 record including a 13-game losing streak to finish, Lillard enjoyed a stellar rookie season, winning Rookie of the Year honors for his efforts.

Awards and records

On December 5, 2012, Damian Lillard was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for November, making him the third rookie in Blazers history to earn the honor, following Arvydas Sabonis (1994) and Brandon Roy (2007). When asked about the honor, Lillard stated "I’m happy that I can get it, but I think all that it says is that I played good for one month. My mind has been focused on being consistent for the whole season, so ... it's a big deal to win the award, but it's not a big deal for the season. I’ll be happy about it and then it’ll be gone. It's a new month already."^[2]

Injuries

Reserve guard Elliot Williams tore his left Achilles tendon during a team workout on September 9. He was out for the season.^[3]
