In February 2024, Lillard opened up to Sports Illustrated about how his life had progressed since leaving Portland.
He said, “Just my whole life was set up perfectly right there. It was a great situation. So just leaving that behind alone is a lot.”
“It’s definitely lonely because I’m such a family guy. My life is my family,” he explained.
“I’m fine because I’m grown. But it’s definitely lonely. I’m filled up by those people.”
