The Celtics are one of several teams that are interested in former Bucks point guard Damian Lillard, according to a new report from the Athletic. Lillard was surprisingly waived and stretched by the Bucks on Tuesday while rehabbing from a torn Achilles injury.

After the Bucks waived Damian Lillard, Boston is reportedly looking into signing the future Hall of Fame guard, per The Athletic. Lillard would bring the Celtics another superstar to join Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, potentially pushing the Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo back into the pack in the East.

Damian Lillard went to bed on Monday night trapped on a sinking ship. He was a member of a Milwaukee Bucks team desperately trying to reshape its roster to appease Antetokounmpo without him, as Lillard will presumably miss most or all of the 2025-26 season recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.
