Damian Lillard completes 100,000 three-pointers during Portland Trail Blazers injury rehab

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard reached a goal of making 100,000 three-pointers while recovering from a torn Achilles. Lillard sustained the injury during the 2025 NBA Playoffs while playing for the Milwaukee Bucks. Upon returning to the Trail Blazers last summer on a three-year, $41.6 million contract, the veteran shooter began tracking his progress during daily rehab and basketball activity sessions. He recorded 11,000 makes during August 2026, maintaining an 80-85% success rate on the shots included in his training drills. Lillard is expected to be available for the team's season opener against the Phoenix Suns on October 21. This return marks his official comeback to the franchise where he holds the all-time scoring record.
