US EditionWhy Damian Lillard’s Push to Return to All-Star Form Is the ‘only Way He Knows’
PORTLAND, OREGON, JUL 21 – Damian Lillard signed a three-year, $42 million deal with a no-trade clause and player option, returning to mentor young players despite rehabbing a ruptured Achilles tendon.
- On July 18, General Manager Joe Cronin announced that Lillard signed a multi-year deal, and ESPN's Shams Charania reported it spans three years for $42 million.
- Earlier this month, the Milwaukee Bucks waived Lillard and stretched his remaining $113 million, and he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the first round expected to sideline him part of the coming season.
- Three children accompanied him to the signing over the weekend, and he later drove home with them, experiencing an emotional homecoming.
- Cronin said `It never felt right seeing Damian in a different jersey,` while Billups called it `a happy day for all of us`.
- During his rehabilitation year, Lillard will mentor young guards Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe, and the deal includes a no-trade clause and a player option after two seasons.
