He spoke about the viral practice incident saying,“I just was not in that place to play. I wasn’t, I couldn’t do it. Getting kicked out of practice that day, I actually spoke to Doc before practice and I was like, ‘Doc, I’m not ready. Mentally I’m not ready, please just understand that.’ I tried to let him know prior.”
“He was like, ‘I’m gonna put you in anyway.’ I’m like, ‘Alright.’ Told me to get in, I looked at him like it was one minute into practice, and he’s like, ‘Ben get in.’ I’m like, first of all no one’s doing that. You’re doing this on purpose and that’s how I felt, too. It was like, ‘So it seems like everyone’s trying to f*** with me now.'”
