“Not a gamble” – Damian Lillard dismisses risk talk amid free agency after being waived by Milwaukee Bucks

Damian Lillard, recently waived by the Milwaukee Bucks due to an Achilles tear, defends his value as a potential “jackpot” signing despite injury concerns. He averaged impressive stats last season before the injury. Several championship contenders are reportedly interested in acquiring the veteran guard, and Lillard remains open to playing as early as the 2025-26 season.
