Royce White, NBA Player With Mental Illness: ‘The League Wants Me Gone’ (VIDEO)
By The Huffington Post News Editors
Houston Rocket and mental health advocate Royce White joined HuffPost Live Monday to talk about an issue he believes is completely misunderstood in professional sports: mental illness. White, who the Rockets took with their first-round draft pick in 2012, suffers from anxiety disorder and a fear of flying, and in early November took an absence from the team due to mental health issues and his disapproval of how the Rockets addressed his condition.
The rookie explained his absence then in a statement, saying: “The 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.”
After nearly three months off the court, White played his first professional game in February — not for the Rockets, but for the Rockets’ affiliate team in the NBA developmental league, basketball’s equivalent of Major League Baseball‘s minor leagues. HuffPost Live Host Marc Lamont Hill asked White if he felt that his assignment to the D-league was a punishment for his mental health advocacy. White responded that while he had no comment on the Rockets motives for sending him to the D-league, he did believe that the Rockets, the NBA and its leadership want him gone.
