I am not trying to be insensitive to White’s anxiety issues, but for someone who has a social problem he sure likes to go to Twitter to vent a lot.

Problem goes back WAY before D-League assignment. This about #Consideration and #Health it isn’t about Rebounds & Money.

It’s sad to think ppl ACTUALLY think
I’d waste my “Talent”, to stand up for myself and what’s right, regarding my health 10x’s out 10. #Logical Player “Commodity” league.

“your a COMMODITY” and “we’ll support your health needs even if its inconvenient…” just don’t go. My health can’t afford such an ideal.

Again My “Anxiety” is not well but not BAD, my main WORRY is being treated as a digit instead of a HUMAN, in the case of my health.

Here is the statement White released.
“In hindsight, perhaps it was not a good idea to be open and honest about my anxiety disorder due to the current situations at hand that involve the nature of actions from the Houston Rockets. The Rockets have been inconsistent with their agreement to proactively create a healthy and successful relationship. Failure to meet my requests for support will end with me being unhealthy and that is not a consequence that I am willing to accept to play any sport.”
If he truly feels that way he should step away from the game.
