fate! Lillard s locker next to Henderson. The team selected the latter and prompted the former to leave the team.

According to previous news, Damian Lillard returned to the Trail Blazers with a three-year contract. In this regard, "The Athletic" reporters Sam Amick and Jason Quick wrote an article to reveal a small highlight.

The article reads: "Lillard's locker will be next to third-year defender Scott Henderson. It was because the Trail Blazers selected Henderson with a sack in the 2023 draft that Lillard applied for a deal. At that time, Lillard hoped that the Trail Blazers would use this draft pick to exchange for more plug-and-play talent to satisfy his desire for a championship. Now, Lillard will compete with Henderson and guide him, and the same team is also veteran Zhu Holiday, who was obtained by the Trail Blazers through a trade in the offseason."
