Royce White not with Rockets for opening of training camp
Battling anxiety issues. Wow. Most of us heard about his fear of flying but apparently he can't even go to camp right now. If it's like this now will he possibly have to sit out games too?

McAllen -
The Rockets announced that rookie forward Royce White is not with the club in McAllen for training camp because of "personal matters."
White also did not attend the club's media day on Monday for the same reasons.
He told FOX 26 Sports the personal matters are related to the fact that he suffers from anxiety issues.
"We are trying to figure out a plan for me to be healthy and successful long-term," White said. "It's not really anything that's going on right now. It's more of trying to take a pro-active approach and trying to put together a solid plan.
"It is definitely linked with my anxiety sure, but it's not so much as far as my anxiety now. Basically what happened was my doctor, we discussed it, and it was decided the way the plan was now just wasn't logistically healthy.
"So what can we do strategically to try and improve the chances of everybody being successful in this situation, my success and the Rockets success? If I fail then that's not good for them either, because it's an investment."
White said he did not know how long it would take before he rejoined the team.

I feel for him but I think this condition will lead to his early retirement which would be unfortunate for a player of his caliber.

He's not being completely honest either, at least according to the Rockets. They're saying he's upset with his lack of playing time and isn't meeting with the specialist they asked him to meet with.

They also shouldn't have drafted him this high knowing his medical issues. It's becoming a wasted pick.
