Waived: when a player has been released by their current team, and their contract is made available to other teams for a specific period.
Damian Lillard, one of the NBA’s most exciting stars, is set to leave the Milwaukee Bucks after only two years with the team. Becoming the co-star to former NBA MVP and Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo following a trade from the Portland Trailblazers, Lillard’s recently torn ACL pushed the Bucks to waive the aging point guard with two years left on his contract. The move allows the Bucks to instead sign Pacers star center Myles Turner while Lillard gets to return home to Portland to begin the injury rehabilitation process.
