Dame leads a lonelier life in Wisconsin after a divorce, estrangement from her children and a giant career change. Lillard also commented on his new routine:
“It’s definitely lonely, because I’m a family guy. My life is my family […] Bro, go to training, come home, watch boxing, play video games.

Despite the veteran’s personal issues, the Bucks are third in the Eastern Conference and are serious title contenders. Damian averages 24.5 points, 6.8 assists and 4.4 rebounds and along with Giannis Antetokounmpoare leading the franchise to a great campaign.
