Larry Sanders had to step away from the game to get himself right, but as time passes and he makes progress, a return to the NBA is no longer a thought at the back of his head- it’s in his plans. From Yahoo Sports:
“Once my art, music and passions off the court feel stable, I will look into coming back,” Sanders told The Vertical. “I still love basketball. I want stability around me, and part of my mindset to leave was not to put all my eggs in one basket. I feel highly valuable on any team. There aren’t a lot of people who can bring my game to a team. I still play basketball all the time, staying in shape. I will need to make sure the situation is right for me.”
He has been making music in Los Angeles and has started a management company for artists, designers, and photographers. Once those things are more established and running smoothly a return to the NBA hardwood will be his focus.
His rise to stardom was just as fast as his fall, but that’s life. He’s regrouped and looks like he is building something special. Nobody knows what you need better than yourself sometimes, so good on Sanders for sticking with his gut.
