The Boston Celtics might sign former Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard. After the Bucks shocked the NBA community by waiving and stretching Dame to make room so they could sign former Indiana Pacers big man Myles Turner, the dust settled, with Lillard sharing he was actually happy with this course of events.

Of course, there are important caveats in the potential plans for both the Celtics and Lillard. From the player’s perspective, Lillard is — like Celtics star Jayson Tatum — currently rehabbing a ruptured Achilles tendon (sustained during a first-round playoff series in April).

Lillard, who could miss all of next season after rupturing his Achilles’ tendon during the Bucks’ first-round playoff loss to Indiana, will soon become an intriguing and likely affordable free agent.
