Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard reminded fans Friday that there’s more to life than just basketball.
Lillard’s first season with the Bucks has been far from smooth. Milwaukee fired head coach Adrian Griffin in January. The team has struggled to resemble a true contender since Doc Rivers took over for Griffin.
Lillard next faces the tall task of carrying the Bucks in the first round without Giannis Antetokounmpo by his side. The two-time MVP is dealing with a n injury that will keep him out for the start of the playoffs.
But Lillard’s tumultuous tenure with the Bucks doesn’t mean he’s frustrated. On Thursday, Lillard addressed the rumor that he’s unhappy with his current situation.
“I saw somebody say, ‘Dame’s not happy in Milwaukee.’ I know the truth. I love the situation that I’m in. I also know what I have going on outside of basketball that kinda drains me at times.”
