The Boston Celtics are interested in signing injured veteran guard Damian Lillard, and the feeling is reportedly mutual. But would the match make sense?

Lillard is currently sidelined with an Achilles tear. It's the same injury that has Jayson Tatum sitting out the upcoming season. Should the Celtics acquire Lillard, two of their 15 roster spots will be committed to talent with long-term injuries.

Despite rumors that the Boston Celtics were interested, free agent guard Damian Lillard is signing with the Portland Trail Blazers.

There’s some question marks for Lillard’s fit on the Celtics, given he needs the ball in his hands to be somewhat effective, but if he’d be willing to come off the bench, which again, doesn't sound too likely, it'd be intriguing to see what Boston could do on the offensive side of the basketball at all times throughout a game.

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

Damian Lillard's unexpected availability has sparked interest from the Boston Celtics, who are navigating a transitional offseason. With key players sidelined, the potential addition of Lillard could provide veteran leadership and a clutch scoring presence.

The most recent Boston Celtics free agency rumors are that the team is going to try to land a future Hall of Fame point guard. Could this star's recruitment help them seal the deal?

While some are wary of a potential signing of former Bucks guard Damian Lillard, others see it as a potentially near-ideal paring.
