I understand this was going to come out regardless but what a fucked up thing to report on.
Hoping the best for Ja and his family.
Glad heâs looking for help wish him the best and hope this truly changes him
Unfortunate it came to this but itâs good to see that heâs actively getting help
So the rumors were true, phuk man. I was hoping it was pure speculation. I wish nothing but the best for Ja. Shows maturity to go into counseling.
Sad as fuck that it went this far before the nephews at r/nba believed it wasnât some PR stunt.
And even then..
Rooting for you as always Ja, get better man.
Fingers crossed he gets the help he needs and comes back better than ever.
Dang, hope it helps.
A hearty fuck you to all the people of /r/NBA celebrating and salivating over this man’s struggle
We are pulling for you Ja, get right and we’ll be here when you get back
This is a very good sign IMO. This is something tangible and shows Ja is taking this seriously and willing to get support.
Wonder why florida? Maybe they know a specific treatment center or specialist for this?
Or like they have one based there that specifically deals with NBA players/professional athletes?
Proud of Ja for taking this step. Get better young fella. Memphis is cheering for you.
They gonna have him complete a list of quest like Kyrie
Canât wait to have him back, Iâm proud of him for getting help.
Just like I said @ the start of all this. He will miss the rest of the season to work through his real life problems and come back awesome next year. NBA games arenât life/death issues and not everything has been reported with what he is going through.
This is cause weâre playing in Miami next right?
Good thing lmao stop he was pressured like a drug addict going to rehab
Good luck homie
Man, fuck r/nba trying to act sympathetic to him now.
Whoâs the source? If itâs staff of the facility seems like a hippa violation?
Privacy violations aside i really hope he is able to get to a better place and maybe even find friends that lift him up rather than stir up trouble
Good for him! I hope he is back before the playoffs but atleast he is actively working on himself and hopefully he come back better than ever
Man, prayers up for Ja. He’s gonna get through this
Ah man, prayers up. I thought something may be wrong with the videos of him chugging bottles on planes and all the stories. When you watch him with his daughter or the way he interacts with fans you can tell he’s a good dude.
Prayers up for Ja, hope he gets the help he needs and comes back healthy
Good! Come back next season and run it back. Your teammates will finish this season off. Cut ties with your toxic friends and start fresh.
Hope heâs alright, and hope this doesnât deflate the rest of your team too much
