Maybe Johnny moving her to Calgary was to try and sell her on the City, or maybe she moved up to domesticate him, whatever the reasons, I strongly suspect Johnny didn't have any issues staying, but had to go.
We could speculate forever here. Maybe his wife's parents are MAGA people and told them they would not visit them in Canada? It's been stated in he NBA that a lot of players don't like playing in Canada as not all Americans have a high opinion of this country. We could go on for weeks speculating.
