Damian Lillard’s Lakers Comments Resurface After Bucks News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Bucks spiced up the 2025 NBA Offseason when they waived and stretched Damian Lillard's contract to make room to sign Myles Turner. Doing so means they'll pay Lillard $22 million annually for the next five years to not play for them.

While he's recovering from a torn Achilles, a report came out that Lillard might be able to return at some point during the 2025-26 season. If that is the case, he would be joining forces with LeBron James and Luka Doncic to compete for a championship.

Following his stunning exit from the Milwaukee Bucks, Damian Lillard is attracting a lot of attention from several high-profile teams on the free-agent market.
