And in one viral post, Lillard is proclaimed to have signed with the Celtics. No, Damian Lillard did not sign with the Boston Celtics. That parody account, NBA Centel, intends to mimic real news possibilities but without real facts involved. As of July 4th morning, that post had been viewed more than one million times on X.

Lillard, who could miss all of next season after rupturing his Achilles’ tendon during the Bucks’ first-round playoff loss to Indiana, will soon become an intriguing and likely affordable free agent.
