Last week, Paul George and Reggie Jackson became the latest Los Angeles Clippers stars to speak out about the reality of mental health in sports and the black community.
This comes just a few months after John Wall revealed his own struggles amid battling with a long-term injury and losing both his mother and grandmother, while Robert Covington also spoke last season about prioritizing his mental wellbeing after falling into a dark place that caused him to nearly quit basketball and Nicolas Batum shared that he was “crying before games” on the Charlotte Hornets.
