The new deal will take Lillard's contract through the 2026-27 season.

Lillard's new deal will give him a total of five years and nearly $270 million on his current NBA contract. He now becomes one of the top earners in NBA history with an estimated $451M in salaries.

Last season the star guard has only played in 29 games as he went for abdominal surgery in January and did not return rest of the season.

In those 29 showings last season, the 6-time NBA All-Star has averaged 24 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game.
