Nine-time All-Star guard Damian Lillard is returning to his former NBA home. ESPN's Shams Charania reported Thursday that Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract that features a player option for the 2027-28 campaign and a no-trade clause.

Scoot Henderson, Toumani Camara, Donovan Clingan, Shaedon Sharpe, Yang Hansen and the rest of the young Blazers now have Damian Lillard and Jrue Holiday in the locker room — two high-level, consummate pros. This is only good for Portland in the long run.
