According to Jason Lloyd of The Athletic, Larry Sanders missed the team bus before Tuesday’s game in Miami and with that simple, seemingly innocuous act, he missed his chance to win a ring with the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. If it was most players, missing the team bus doesn’t have major implications. However, for someone with a past as checkered as Sanders’, he showed a lack of off-court responsibility that was all too familiar.
Here’s what Cleveland Cavaliers general manager David Griffin had to say about releasing Sanders:
“He didn’t have any kind of a setback relative to any of the demons he had or any of those things,” Cavs general manager David Griffin said.
