very sad. I will speculate that he deals with depression and the recent trade of a player that he felt might cut into his playing time had an impact on his mental health.
or not. either way I am truly sorry for his family and friends
It might not even be a recent “reason” to be “down”.
A crude analogy might be a big ol’ tree branch. It survived our spring and summer storms. And then, this fall, we got a slow, light rain. There was no wind to speak of, but right at the very end of the 2-day rain, the branch came down. The unseen continued decay, and the weight of the water accumulating in the “punky” wood, broke it.
