Damian Lillard’s lonely life with Bucks after getting traded, splitting with wife
NY Post
It’s the unseen side of a blockbuster NBA trade.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard has no regrets about his “big boy decision” to seek a trade after 11 years with the Trail Blazers, but the transition has been “tough” for the newly single NBA star, who filed for divorce from his college sweetheart, Kay’La Lillard, on Oct. 2, 2023, a week after he was dealt from Portland to Milwaukee.
“It’s definitely lonely because I’m such a family guy,” Lillard told Sports Illustrated recently. “My life is my family. After games, I would come out and my whole family would be back there. My kids coming out of the playroom. My mom, my brother, my cousins lived there, you know what I mean?”
Lillard’s family and his three children — son Damian Jr., 5, and 2-year-old twins Kalii and Kali — attended the All-Star festivities this month in Indianapolis, where he was named All-Star Game MVP and the winner of 3-point contest.
“My best friends live in Portland,” Lillard said. “So I would come out, we would go to dinner. They might come to my house. After practice, I might go to my mom’s house and just chill. That’s how my life was. So, I mean, I’m fine because I’m grown. But it’s definitely lonely. I’m filled up by those people.”
The 33-year-old All-NBA guard went on to explain that he “[doesn’t] have much of a life” after moving to Milwaukee last fall when the Bucks traded for him on Sept. 27.
