    White's assignment to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Saturday looked to be a positive step in his return. But on Sunday, White released an almost 500-word statement where he said he wouldn't report to the team.
    "I have chosen to not play, because the doctors and I believe it to be unsafe for unqualified Rockets front office personnel to make medical decisions, as they are not mental health professionals," he said.

    This is real, I heard a story about it on NPR about 2 months ago.

    Since when is an assignment to the D-League a medical decision? I hope the Rockets sue. It's specifically in the CBA that players in their first three years can't reject assignments.

    Royce White @Highway_30 Funny, headlines read "Royce refuses D-League assignment." NO! I refuse to go to work period. UNSAFE for just anyone to make medical calls.


    Royce White
    @Highway_30
    I will play for the Vipers, Rockets or anyone else as soon as the protocol recommended by the team doctors is implemented.

    “@Freddyisreal: @Highway_30 People get fired if we just don't go to work. Buck up” FALSE, unsafe wok conditions are unacceptable w/any job!

    Royce White     ‏@Highway_30
    Lol, So I guess I can only play basketball OR work fast food restaurants? Good thing for me this is also very illogical. #BeWell Friends...


    Royce White ‏@Highway_30
    Thanks everyone 4 the support! I only want medical professionals 2 make my medical calls. The positivity is felt! #BeWell #AnxietyTroopers

    Even though this is lol material..I say cut the guy some slack. What if one of your co-workers came in one day and said he was having mental issues and may not be responsible for his actions... would scare me yo...I would start wearing bullet proof vest or locking my office door.

    He's given the Rockets a warning that he's about to go.postal and I for one believe him. I wouldn't with that guy. If he's willing to ruin is million dollar career before it even begins then YES he's crazy as ...no sane person especially a person who's never had that kind of money would act that way..dude is likely.Mike Tyson crazy.
