NBA Rumors: The Celtics Advance in Negotiations with Damian Lillard

In the 2025 Free Agency, there are still very prominent names. Among them, Al Horford and Damian Lillard stand out. The former will not return to the Boston Celtics unless a major surprise happens. However, the latter could end up signing with the Massachusetts franchise.

Since being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks to make room for Myles Turner, Lillard has been linked to the Celtics. The guard will not play next season due to his Achilles injury, a scenario familiar in Boston.

Not much is expected from the Celtics next year, as they will also be without Jayson Tatum due to the same injury. There, Damian Lillard could recover alongside his friend, with whom he coincided in the 2020 Olympics, and slowly return the following season to contend for the championship.

This has been pointed out by the Boston Globe from the NBA Rumors. Interest in the signing seems to be mutual, and things are progressing. This week could be crucial in determining Lillard's future.

The issue for the Celtics is the presence of other very enticing projects also interested. Among them, the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are also in the race for Damian Lillard's signature.
