Your last point is very true. Can't speak on the NBA but I have direct knowledge of a few NHL guys.
Remember Tristan Thompson yeah that happens a lot more than people think he was just caught on camera.

Missing half the season is odd. There are certainly emotions and all that that has to be taken care of, but they have the best psychiatrists, each team has handlers to take care of special situation needs, etc. For sure emotions would be crazy but after a month or so you'd think some of the legal things that need to be filed, are done, and he could focus on the mental with the help of professionals. He's a star player in the NBA though, so he probably does what he wants with the team having no real option other than to say "we'll stand behind him", while they wait it out.
