Even in the midst of a competitive playoff scene, Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard still have several issues to deal with off the court. The most recent one involves Kayla, his ex-wife, having a beef with rapper GloRilla.
On the court, though, Lillard just had a historic debut for the Bucks after the All-Star guard posted 35 points on 54 percent shooting from the field, six rebounds, and three assists in a 109-94 win against the Indiana Pacers. As a result, the All-Star guard was one point shy of replicating Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s first playoff game for the franchise.
The impressive element of Dame’s first postseason game for Milwaukee stems from the fact that he led his team to a win without the presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Before the playoffs started, the Greek Freak suffered a strained calf, which placed him out of action for the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, the termination of Adrian Griffin and getting Doc Rivers to coach the team hasn’t resulted in the best for the Bucks. As compared to the former, the one-time Coach of the Year has a worse record after he took over the team from Griffin.
Even if that’s the case, Lillard is making the best of what he has on and off the court. And with a playoff series to win, the Bucks will count on him to deliver them in the first round against Indiana.
GloRilla Trolls Milwaukee Bucks Star Damian Lillard’s Ex-Wife After DUI Arrest
Just recently, rapper GloRilla was arrested for driving under the influence. This led Dame’s ex-wife, Kayla, to post the musician’s mugshot on social media. GloRilla’s response can be seen in a tweet posted by Hip Hop Ties on X:

GloRilla has been known to have a crush on Lillard, a fact she used in her response to Kayla. The rapper was recently taken into custody after performing a U-turn while a red light was on in Georgia.
It remains to be seen how Kayla will respond or whether Dame will join the fray or not. In any case, the All-Star guard has his work cut out in front of him as Game 2 against the Pacers is the most pressing concern before him.
