According to court documents, Damian Lillard filed for divorce from his wife of two years, Kay’La, days after he was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks. The new Bucks guard filed the paperwork on Monday at the circuit court in Oregon.

The court filing allegedly attempts to ban Kay'La from using Lilliard's last name following the divorce. Kay'La's maiden name is Hanson.

Damian Lillard is divorcing his wife.

Reports also suggest that the two have been living in separate houses for the past 10 months.

Damian Lillard calls out Blazers

Lillard was slightly critical of his former team after being sent to the Bucks. He admitted to being happy settling in with Milwaukee. However, he did say he wanted to go to Miami.

“I don’t think it was a secret that Miami is where I wanted to go when I asked for a trade,” Lillard said on SiriusXM NBA Radio, “It was more of a thing when this conversation even started. It was like, ‘We’re not going to be able to build this team out. We’ll help you get to where you want to go.’ And that was where I wanted to go.”

Portland instead found another suitor in Milwaukee. According to reports, Lillard eventually expanded his list of desired teams to Milwaukee and Brooklyn. The Blazers then decided to send him to the Bucks, with Shams Charania reporting that the Blazers never intended to send him to Miami.

Lillard is now on one of the leading contenders for the NBA title. The Bucks are among the favorites to raise the trophy alongside the Boston Celtics.
