While the reason for center Larry Sanders' absence from the Milwaukee Bucks has changed from "illness" to "personal reasons," per Charles F. Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, one may still be apt to say the shot-blocker is sick.
Only, this might not be a physical sickness. The five-year veteran could be growing tired of his NBA life, according to one report.
Sources told Gery Woelfel of The Journal Times in Racine, Wisconsin, that Sanders recently informed some team officials he no longer wants to play basketball
The Bucks haven't shed much light on the situation. Outside of updating the injury report, Milwaukee has mostly kept quiet on the subject.
"It's just personal," Bucks coach Jason Kidd said recently, per Gardner. "There's nothing I can give you more. That's the way the question will be answered."
Even before Woelfel's report, some speculated about potential problems brewing behind the scenes.
"This absence could be as simple as an illness in his family, or a medical condition for Sanders himself of a personal and private nature," Bucksketball's KL Chouinard wrote. "But boy, is it ever hard to believe that stuff given the track record of how these things have shaken out in the past."
Sanders, who signed a four-year, $44 million contract extension in August 2013, had a disastrous 2013-14 campaign.
He suffered a torn ligament in his right thumb during a fight at a Milwaukee nightclub that kept him sidelined nearly two months. He later missed time with a fractured right orbital bone and ended his season by serving a five-game suspension for violating the NBA's drug policy.
