Nine-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard is returning to the Portland Trail Blazers on a three-year, $42 million contract, which includes a player option for the 2027–28 season and a no-trade clause. After being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks, Lillard, who is expected to miss the entire 2025–26 season due to an Achilles injury, chose to rejoin Portland, where he previously spent 11 seasons and is the franchise’s all-time leader in points and three-pointers.
