Date of birth: May 12, 2005
Dyllan is Damon’s son, who was born by his ex-partner Tina Thompson. The boy lives with his mother, and as Tina used to say in her interview, she was raising her son as a single parent.
The boy was born in 2005 when his mother was in an active phase of her career. She traveled all over the world and participated in the European League and Russian league. Nevertheless, she made a pause in her career to spend some time with her newborn son.
It seems, that Dyllan is not close to his father. He grew up in Houston, Texas, and there ended a high school. The boy spent a lot of time with his maternal grandmother, Lady Thompson, while his mother Tina was in Seatle, coaching the youth teams there.
