Damian Lillard is headed home. Well, his NBA home.
Lillard agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract with the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix reports. The deal includes a player option for the 2027–28 season and a no-trade clause, ESPN's Shams Charnia added. It's a homecoming for Lillard, as he spent the first 11 years of his 13-year career in Portland. He played for the Milwaukee Bucks the last two seasons.
At 35 years old, it's likely that Lillard will now retire with the Trail Blazers—a storybook ending.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
