Glad he got the help he needed. As frustrating as it is, Koby and JB allowing Ricky to take the time he needed to decide is a very classy move on their part. Hope he gets to ball for Spain in the future

Love you Ricky, have a great post-NBA life my guy ✊🏻

I truly hope that Ricky’s decision to step away completely while dealing with this stuff helps create a bigger precedent for mental health awareness in sports

I still blame JB for all of this. There was no need to play him 37 minutes in a meaningless regular season game in 2021

Think one of the most underrated things about this current Cavs regime is how often they find dudes who are just good people. We have so many guys that have hearts of gold. I know every fanbase probably thinks that about their players, but I really feel like it’s true. I’m gonna miss this guy being in the NBA a lot man.

I hate to openly speculate or pry, but this sure sounds a lot like he attempted s–cide, doesn’t it?

Thank you for everything, Ricky

Fair. Nothing but respect for our Ricky! The PG that started the hope! Love having him on our team and nothing but good luck!

Hope he is at peace with it
I’ll always remember Ricky as the dominate PG he was for us for a half a year
So much fun watching him and Love run their 2 man game during that period

Hey man, if his heart isn’t in it and he thinks this will help him long term get his mind right, more power to him. The alternative of him trying to play through it seems like it would end in disaster. Hope he can overcome whatever it is he is dealing with.

Ricky turned into one of my favorite players ever. He plays basketball in a beautiful artistic style and raised his teammates games in the process. When he and KLove were fully in sync, it looked choreographed at times! Love the guy and rooting for his health and wellbeing! 🙏

Ricky was great for our young guys. If it wasn’t for his injuries he’d probably still have some good rotation mins with us.

Feel like he handed his mantle off to CPJ before leaving.
