And in one viral post, Lillard is proclaimed to have signed with the Celtics. No, Damian Lillard did not sign with the Boston Celtics. That parody account, NBA Centel, intends to mimic real news possibilities but without real facts involved. As of July 4th morning, that post had been viewed more than one million times on X.

For the Bucks, moving Lillard was necessary to make room for Turner. Antetokounmpo and Turner reportedly wanted to play together, and Milwaukee obliged. Turner fits in the frontcourt next to Antetokounmpo and could be enough to push the two-time MVP to re-up with the franchise next summer.

Damian Lillard is confident in his abilities as the free agent ponders his options after the Milwaukee Bucks waived the nine-time All-Star and seven-time All-NBA player on Tuesday.
