The Milwaukee Bucks have officially waived Damian Lillard, ending his two-season stint with the team after he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury. This injury will keep Lillard sidelined for most, if not all, of the upcoming campaign. The Bucks, who recently signed Myles Turner, decided to restructure Lillard's remaining contract of $113 million to accommodate this acquisition.

Lillard's departure is marked by uncertainty about his future, particularly regarding his next destination as a free agent. Despite his injury, interest in Lillard from other teams is expected to surge. He averaged 24.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 7.0 assists during his time in Milwaukee, indicating his impact on the court.
