Amid rumors of suspensions and things of that matter, Ian Rapoport is reporting that Aldon Smith will voluntarily enter a treatment facility either or Monday or Tuesday.

“He will take an indefinite leave of absence,” York told reporters Sunday.
Smith addressed reporters at his locker after the game.
“First off, I wanted to apologize to the team, to the organization, my family everybody I let down,” Smith said. “I also wanted to let it be known that this is a problem, and this is something I will get fixed and do everything in my power to never let this happen again. I also wanted to let everybody know once again that I am sorry, and like I said, this won’t happen again.”
