Following the Milwaukee Bucks' decision to release Damian Lillard following their move to sign Myles Turner, the Celtics have emerged as a possible suitor for the star veteran point guard.

The Celtics are one of several teams that are interested in former Bucks point guard Damian Lillard, according to a new report from the Athletic. Lillard was surprisingly waived and stretched by the Bucks on Tuesday while rehabbing from a torn Achilles injury.

Following his stunning exit from the Milwaukee Bucks, Damian Lillard is attracting a lot of attention from several high-profile teams on the free-agent market.
