Jayson Tatum is working to bring another star to the Boston Celtics, as Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reported that Tatum is trying to lure Damian Lillard to town (subscription required). Unfortunately, like Tatum, Lillard suffered a torn Achilles in the 2025 playoffs. A couple of months later, the Bucks waived and stretched the rest of Lillard's contract to make room for Myles Turner.
Lillard will miss most of the 2025-26 season, if not all of it, rehabbing. The guard is considering his options since being released by Milwaukee, but because of his injury, there isn't a rush for him to sign with a new team.
