In a February media appearance, Lillard admits that his custody dispute is bothering him.

According to Damian Lillard, “I don’t care about it more than I care about my kids, as much as I love basketball and my job” (via Yahoo! Sports Vincent Goodwill). You carry it with you, of course. “When I hoop, I ain’t thinking about nothing,” people say, but I’m not twenty-one. I have three children. In addition to going through a divorce, my family and I get along well.
The Milwaukee Bucks finished their season early in the first round after losing to the Indiana Pacers; there is currently no information available regarding the time and location of the custody hearings.
