Damian Lillard signed a three-year contract worth $42 million to return to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Lillard's deal includes a no-trade clause as well as a player option for the 2027-28 season.

Lillard returns to the team that he spent the first 11 seasons of his career with. He averaged 25.2 points and 6.7 assists per game in that span before being trading to the Milwaukee Bucks, where he would spend the next seasons before being surprisingly waived earlier this offseason.
