Briefly

Following a surprising move in free agency, the Milwaukee Bucks released Damian Lillard to create cap space after acquiring Myles Turner from the Indiana Pacers. Lillard, recovering from an Achilles injury, is still attractive to teams, particularly the Miami Heat. The Heat aim to pursue him at a discounted rate, while other teams are also showing interest. Despite his ongoing recovery process, Lillard could serve as a mentor for young players if he joins Miami, where he could also sign without financial penalty due to the Bucks' arrangement.
