In 2015, Sanders stepped away from the NBA following issues with marijuana use and punctuality as well as dealing with anxiety and depression. After a brief stint in 2017 with the Cavs, it looked like Sanders was going to give the NBA another go. However, after just five games, Sanders called it on his professional career once again.
“It left a bad taste in my mouth," Larry Sanders says. "I had really worked myself to get back to the league." https://t.co/yZ9l1ip0KA
