Mental illness is a serious issues in our country, but it is my opinion that White is using it as a crutch to expect preferential treatment from the Rockets.

His story is getting old and no one will care what he has to say when he is out of the league.

Royce White says he won’t play for Rockets’ D League team, citing “unsafe” atmosphere of team officials making mental health calls.

In statement, White says he wants to play, but only “with the collaboration and recommendation of trained professionals.”

White says HOU has only given an “image” of support, & provided info that is “extremely misleading, and a lot of times totally inaccurate.”
