All-star point guard Damian Lillard opened up on being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks and returning home to Portland.

Lillard was a first-round pick in 2012 for the Trail Blazers and won Rookie of the Year before helping the franchise to eight playoff appearances over the next 11 seasons. He spent two years of teaming up with Giannis Antetokounmpo in Milwaukee before choosing to come home to the West Coast.

With Damian Lillard returning to the Portland Trail Blazers over the weekend on a three-year deal, he will team up for the first time with guard Jrue Holiday, who was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Trail Blazers earlier this month.
