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.

The Lakers are reportedly one of multiple teams that are interested in signing veteran nine-time All-Star guard Damian Lillard.
