Damian Lillard is open to signing with a team this offseason under the right terms and conditions as he continues rehabbing.

Fantasy Impact

Lillard is expected to miss all of next season as he works his way back from tearing his Achilles. Haynes notes that he is receiving "ample interest, but is in no rush to make a decision."

The Warriors are reportedly among the teams who have shown interest in Damian Lillard.

Fantasy Impact

Lillard is from the Bay Area which could lead to him wanting to play for the Warriors. He is expected to take his time as he draws interest from several teams.

Damian Lillard has been waived by the Milwaukee Bucks after the team signed Myles Turner. The remaining $113 million contract will be stretched over the next five seasons.

Fantasy Impact

If the Myles Turner signing wasn’t enough, the Bucks waiving Dame is icing on the cake. He was already going to miss most if not all of the 2025-26 season, but this type of move involving a star player does not happen often. Lillard will try to find a team that is willing to take him on in the hopes that he can recover and get back to form, much like the Nets with Kevin Durant several years ago.
