La La just appeared on the "The Wendy Williams Show" and opened up about her split from the NBA star -- explaining that she's not rushing to court to officially file divorce docs just yet.
"Marriages are tough," La La said ... "It’s filled with ups and downs and we’re just going through a time right now. But him and I are the best of friends and our number one commitment is to our son, Kiyan.
