The Portland Trail Blazers got franchise icon Damian Lillard to sign a new contract with the team as he returns to his roots.

Lillard's family is based in Portland, and he will recover from his Achilles injury with his loved ones around him as a support system.

The All-Star guard signed a multi-year deal, keeping him with the Blazers for his return to the court and providing a mentor for young players on the team.

Lillard was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks and became a free agent after clearing waivers. His market was full of contending teams, but he opted for a return to his beloved franchise.
