Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is recruiting Damian Lillard to join the franchise as an unrestricted free agent, according to The Boston Globe. Released earlier this summer by the Milwaukee Bucks, Lillard is reportedly open to signing this summer and the Celtics are one of three teams at the top of his potential list of suitors.

The Celtics were previously rumored to be a possible suitor for Lillard earlier in July. The post Jayson Tatum reportedly a part of Celtics’ efforts to land Damian Lillard appeared first on Boston.com.

Now, a new report from The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn reveals that Celtics star Jayson Tatum has personally stepped in to recruit Lillard to Boston. Washburn reported that Tatum is “taking part in recruiting efforts” to convince the 34-year-old guard to join the 18-time NBA Champions once he’s healthy enough to return.
