The Milwaukee Bucks had a surprising move on Tuesday when they decided to cut ties with All-Star guard Damian Lillard. No one thought the Bucks would let the star guard go while he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. However, Milwaukee waived him to accommodate center Myles Turner, who signed a four-year, $107 million contract.

One NBA executive told ESPN’s Tim Bontemps and Jamal Collier that the Milwaukee Bucks waiving Damian Lillard turned a "bad situation into a worse one."

Damian Lillard's First Post After Being Waived by Milwaukee Bucks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Milwaukee Bucks' Damian Lillard era is officially over. The team decided to waive the nine-time All-Star following his season-ending Achilles injury.
