Freshman point guard of the Ohio State basketball team D.J. Carton announced via Twitter on Thursday that he is temporarily stepping away from the program to focus on his mental health.
This is part of what Carton wrote on Twitter.
“I have been suffering with mental health issues for a couple years. I have been through a lot. I’m disappointed to say I’m not 100% right now. I am not doing my teammates justice if I don’t work on this now. I am doing everything in my power to strengthen my mental health.
