Tyrell Terry, a guard selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2020 draft, cited overwhelming anxiety in an Instagram post announcing his retirement from the game.

"I decided to let go of the game that has formed a large part of my identity," Terry wrote, in part. "Something that has guided my path since I took my first steps. While I have achieved amazing accomplishments, created unforgettable memories, and made lifelong friends...I've also experienced the darkest times of my life. To the point where instead of building me up, it began to destroy me.
