Breaking: Damian Lillard, a former star of the Trail Blazers, has confirmed that he wants to return to Portland 🏀 Damian Lillard, a former Portland Trail Blazers legend, has publicly stated his desire to rejoin the team that drafted him, which is a stunning revelation that will electrify Rip City supporters. Speaking openly in a recent interview with the media, Lillard stated:
Despite his recent struggles with deep vein thrombosis in his right calf and a torn left Achilles that kept him out of action at the end of the 2024–25 season, Lillard, the seasoned leader of the Milwaukee Bucks, has continued to show his love for Portland and the fans.
However, his sentimental connection to the franchise is what has reignited talk of a potential comeback. Lillard received a thunderous standing ovation when he returned to the Moda Center in early 2024 as a member of another team, and he was praised for displaying “a lot of love.”
Although Lillard had previously asked for a trade away from Portland, preferring a contender like the Miami Heat, Portland’s front management, led by general manager Joe Cronin, has stated that they are willing to wait for the “right deal.”
