When a player blows out his knee, do we ask how long the incision is, what type on anesthesia they used, can we see the X-rays?
Anyone that needs to know more than we already do, are just nosey rubberneckers looking to get some sort of cheap thrill by getting all the dirty details. They are hoping for some salacious seedy backstory to talk about and somehow get off on. They are the same people that frequent TMZ and frequent gossip sites. It's juvenile immature behaviour.
It's simple.
He's struggling mentally and is unavailable at the current time. There is no return date at this time.

What could be happening to a seemingly sane, ripped, millionaire athlete that keeps him from the game he loves. Whatever it is, it must be pretty bad. I truly hope he can beat it.
