BREAKING NEWS:1 American Player Damian Lillard Signs $90.1 Million Contract with Boston Celtics in Bombshell Decision Over….. Full Details 👇⬇️
Here’s the real story — no official announcement has been made that Damian Lillard signed a $90.1 million contract with Boston. But there’s a flurry of credible reports hinting at a potential deal that sounds similar. Let me break it down clearly:
📰 What we know from reputable sources
1. Milwaukee Bucks waived Lillard and stretched his contract
To clear cap space for Myles Turner’s deal, the Bucks used a salary‑stretch provision on Lillard’s remaining ~$113 million over five years

This move makes Lillard a full free agent, meaning he can sign with any team—for the veteran minimum—while still collecting most of his Bucks salary .
2. Boston expressing strong mutual interest
Multiple outlets—including The Boston Globe, Sports Illustrated, NBC Boston, Hoops Wire, ClutchPoints—report that Boston is among Lillard’s top suitors, and talks are ongoing
Hoops Wrivate meeting reportedly took place July 7, with sources saying Boston has surged to the front of the pack
So far, no official release announces a $90.1M or any other deal with the Celtics. Even reports suggesting a 5‑year, $200M deal (like Koprealm) are unsubstantiated by recognized reports
What’s credible: Boston can offer the veteran minimum (around $3.6M in 2025–26, then a mid‐level exception in 2026–27), thanks to the salary‐cap structure
