The 2025 NBA Free Agency took a surprising turn. The Milwaukee Bucks decided to release Damian Lillard, who was injured with an Achilles tendon injury, to sign Myles Turner. This left the star point guard without a team.

Despite being sidelined for the entire upcoming season, the interest in Lillard remains high. According to NBA Rumors, Sam Amick of The Athletic mentions that the top 3 teams in the league are eager to secure his signing.

"The teams that have already shown interest in signing Lillard when he becomes a free agent are the Golden State Warriors, Boston Celtics, and Los Angeles Lakers," stated Amick.

The NBA journalist and insider refers to "when he becomes a free agent" as the 48-hour period that must pass with Damian Lillard on the waivers list. If no team claims his services (with his current hefty contract), he will be able to sign freely with the franchise of his choice.
