Nope. He knows that he's young & has a lot of basketball left after this year. So he wants to make sure that he doesn't **** that up.
He comes back next season at a high level & competes with MIA for the league's best record & the fans will completely forget about last year. He keeps it up for a decade & then when he retires this will be just be a small footnote.
He's a liability at this point anyway. The last time he saw the Heat in the playoffs he averaged 35% shooting & 4 turnovers. And that was when he was at his peak. Now he hasn't played in ANY games in over a year & is completely out of rhythm. It would be a nightmare.
If dude is medically cleared now why is it any guarantee he'll feel "right" next season?
I don't get why everyone is assuming he'll play next season opening night if he's too scared to play now.
