Speaking of the Bucks debut, Lillard said: “I felt great, just a little rusty at the beginning, but the game is very simple, you need to slowly find the rhythm.” My teammates encouraged me in the beginning and that helped me find my rhythm. It feels great to be back out there.”

Talking about how playing for the Bucks is different, Lillard said: “I’m still a little bit not used to, I used to play fast, when the ball is in my hands I can attract a lot of defenses, but here, I didn’t adapt so quickly, but I also played the previous style, making shots and passing well.” It’s only the first game and we’ll get better.” In the game, Lillard shot 3 for 10 in 22 minutes, 2 for 7 from 3-point range, 6 for 6 free throws and contributed 14 points plus 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, plus minus +7.
