Now, a new report has been made that gives the Celtics reason for hope that Lillard could sign with the franchise. That report came from Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. He has reported that Lillard has mutual interest with the team due to his friendship with Tatum.

The Boston Celtics are one of many teams who have been connected to superstar guard Damian Lillard since the Milwaukee Bucks surprisingly waived him. This connection might actually have some legs to it. The Boston Globe's Gary Washburn reported that Lillard has interest in joining the Celtics.

Damian Lillard and the Celtics are reportedly eyeing each other and a championship run in 2026-27, as both sides explore a new future.
