It has been challenging for Damian Lillard to adjust to life with the Milwaukee Bucks. 

The point guard recently talked to Sports Illustrated and said that since leaving the Trail Blazers and his family in Portland, he now feels “lonely.”

“It’s definitely lonely because I’m such a family guy,” he told the publication. “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?”

Along with his three kids, Damian Jr., age five, and the twins, Kalii and Kali, ages two, he also resides in Portland with his mother, other family members, and friends.

“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 said, “Seriously, I don’t have much of a life. But that’s what comes with making a big boy decision. You got to be down for that and figure it out.” He was with the Trail Blazers for 11 years before coming to the Bucks in September.

“Go to practice, go home, watch boxing, play video games,” Lillard said, describing his routine. “Man, I type in [boxing website] FightHype on YouTube 100 times and be praying for something new to be on there.”

It’s crucial for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Lillard to click as well; Lillard described their play together as a “work in progress.”

A week after signing his contract with the Bucks, in early October, Lillard filed for divorce from Kay’La Lillard, the mother of his children. His three children and his family visited Indianapolis earlier this month, where he won the three-point contest and was named MVP of the All-Star Game.
