Cleveland Cavaliers veteran point guard Ricky Rubio has announced he is putting his career as a professional basketball on hold. Rubio stated that he will be focusing on his mental health during his time away from the game.
Taking time to focus on one’s mental health is very important should an individual deem that necessary. Personal matters should always come first as there are more important things in life than a game. Basketball will always be there. There is no reason to put mental health on the back burner in order to play the game of basketball. Stepping away and taking the right steps to improve mental health when needed is and will always be the correct course of action.
