White is currently battling an anxiety disorder that, among other things, prevents him from flying. He doesn’t think the team is doing enough to support him while he’s battling his anxiety issues, and he believes it is using the issues against him to deny him the opportunity to play. White has yet to appear in a game for the Rockets this season, and he has been inactive for the past four.
Houston general manager Daryl Morey announced that the team was sending White down to the Rockets’ D-League affiliate but hasn’t met with him yet. The team has arranged for White to begin treatment with a doctor at the Baylor College of Medicine, but he has not attended any of those sessions.
The Rockets apparently have no plans to trade White at this time.
