“Checking on someone’s mental health is not waiting until the mental health has gotten to the place where you’re afraid,” Miron stated. “Checking on somebody’s psychological health is appreciating what’s going on within them. And I analyze this entire procedure with Ja Morant, nobody’s actually cared. All they have actually appreciated is that he’s breaking guidelines or not on the court.
“The unfortunate thing about most athletes, is people don’t care unless it’s interfering with their ability to compete. And that, in itself, is not good for our soul.
