Damian Lillard 2023: Net worth, salary and endorsements

Damian Lillard is a sharpshooting Point Guard for the Milwaukee Bucks. He came through the ranks, playing college basketball for the Weber State Wildcats, before becoming the sixth overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft. He played his first 11 seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers. But during the 2023 Free Agency, he requested a trade to the Heat after years of playoff disappointment. However, the Trail Blazers' ownership decided to ship him to the Milwaukee Bucks in a blockbuster three-team deal. He will now play alongside two-time MVP and one-time champion Giannis Antetokounmpo. This is the first time both players are pairing up with a superstar-caliber player.

He has received seven NBA All-Star selections, which makes him one of only two players in Trail Blazers franchise history to become a six-time All-Star. Only Clyde Drexler, with ten selections, finished ahead of him.
