-Rockets suspend first round pick Royce White


HOUSTON (AP) -- The Houston Rockets suspended first-round pick Royce White for ''refusing to provide services'' required by his contract on Sunday.

General manager Daryl Morey said Sunday that the team will continue to work with White in hopes of finding a resolution.

White will not be paid during his suspension.

White refused his assignment to Houston's D-League affiliate a week ago. The 16th overall pick in the June draft has spent most of the season on Houston's inactive list while he and the team figure out how to handle his anxiety disorder and overall mental health.

White has been vocal on Twitter throughout this saga, and he continued to voice his opinions on the Web site after the announcement Sunday.

''What's suspending me suppose to do. I've been away from the team for a month 1/2. Guess we want to give it a title to shift accountability,'' he tweeted.

That was the first in a string of tweets on the subject, and he then addressed Morey in the second one.

''Threat, Fines, Suspension won't deter me. I won't accept illogical health decisions, I will keep asking for safety & health. (hash)BeWell (at)dmorey,'' he tweeted.

The Rockets chose White in the first round after a season at Iowa State, where he helped the Cyclones to their first NCAA tournament berth in seven years by leading the team in scoring (13.4 points a game), rebounds (9.3), assists (5.0), steals (1.2) and blocks (0.9).

The 6-foot-8 White missed the first week of training camp to work with the Rockets to create an arrangement to deal with his anxiety disorder within the demands of the NBA's travel schedule. He and the team agreed to allow him to travel by bus to some games while he confronted his fear of flying and obsessive-compulsive disorder. He flew to Detroit with the team for the season opener and then traveled by bus to Atlanta and Memphis for games.

But he soon stopped participating in team activities and said on Twitter that dealing with his mental health took precedence over his NBA career. Then came his decision last Sunday to refuse his assignment to the D-League. Despite that decision, he said then that he still hopes to return to basketball in the future.

''And daily I'm just trying to stand up for my health and make sure that my health isn't neglected in an operation where, me and you both know, it's mostly about money,'' White said in a recent interview with Sirius/XM Radio. ''And I'm kind of the only one that's going to sit in the situation and say, 'Hey, let's put the health thing first.'''

lol @ bitchmade doughy-ass carmello anthony getting his little baby feelings hurt by the god KG.

[RUSHING PLATYPUS]

KG's a fucking dick. I'm not sure how he's gone this long without someone knocking him the fuck out on the floor, but I'd sure like to see it.

[Sky Blue Danny Kid]

well, soft-dick emo faggots do tend to get their feelings hurt by KG...

[Sky Blue Danny Kid]

but to answer your question, the reason nobody has knocked him out is because the NBA is composed mainly of coddled, rich athletes.

They are basketball players, not boxers.

They wear skinny jeans and glasses frames with no lenses.

They don't want none.

But the biggest thing is, KG just gets intense when he plays ball. He gets inside the heads of the mentally weak. It aint about a fistfight. It's about winning. ANd thats all KG wants to do.

I don't blame people for getting mad.

And as a celtics fan, i love that shit.

[IronSheik]

fuk KG...faggot has no class...he jus wants to run his mouth which he does a lot more as he ages cuz thas all he can do since he aint got no game...he uses it as his defense, to get under ur skin




the reason why no ones KO'd his punk ass is cuz there aint players in the league like that....Mason, Oakley, Barkley. Rodman, etc. would crush his scrawny ass

the great ones just need to deal with it & play thru it...let their game speak for them & respond like this

[Sky Blue Danny Kid]

^^^^^lol, speaking of sensitive, bitchmade folks with little girl feelings...

still an all-star, still infuriating the haters, still the best frontcourt help defender in the league...

also, lol at you suggesting the players above didn't talk shit

double lol at you suggesting rodman's drag queen ass was a fighter.

but most of all, lol at another butthurt emo basketball groupie mad at the god.

[hectis]

[Sky Blue Danny Kid]

LeBron's the man, but Iron Shiek isn't a basketball fan, he's a groupie.
