Jayson Tatum Recruiting Damian Lillard to Boston
Digest more
Jayson Tatum is actively recruiting Damian Lillard to the Boston Celtics, according to NBA reporter Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe. Lillard is an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career after getting waived and stretched by the Milwaukee Bucks.
Damian Lillard remains a free agent but is considering his options, and the Celtics are indeed one of them. The nine-time All-Star is in no hurry to sign, but the Celtics are interested in a multi-year deal that would allow him to return fully healthy from his torn Achilles for the 2026-27 season in a Celtics uniform along with a healed Tatum for a title run.
