Chicago Bulls center Andre Drummond missed the team's 121-110 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night after he posted on Twitter that he was deleting his social media apps to focus on his mental health.
Drummond was ruled out because of personal reasons, according to the Bulls. Coach Billy Donovan said he is hopeful about the possibility of Drummond traveling with the team ahead of Friday night's game at Charlotte.
“As we come here and play games there's also a human side, a personal side to all these guys.” Donovan said, “And you feel bad when anybody's going through something like that. I think you try to give as much support as you can.”
Drummond, 29, is in his first year with Chicago and his 11th season in the NBA overall. The two-time All-Star posted on Tuesday that he was deleting his apps and changing his number.
“Time to focus on my mental health,” Drummond wrote. “If you too are struggling with your mental health, you are not alone... it’s okay to ask for help.”
Drummond is averaging 6.1 points and 6.7 rebounds in 62 games for the Bulls in a reserve role. He had 11 points and eight rebounds during Monday night's 124-112 loss at the Los Angeles Clippers.
