Given the timing
I think we should all be very skeptical of what “personal reasons” means. Sounds like they let him know they expect him to be a 6th man and he didn’t take it well. This could well be the end of the road for AI.

so
i cant tell if thats a good thing or a bad thing for us
Neither
we should be able to beat this team with or without AI but I would think this has their locker room distracted so it should make it easier for us.

Lionel Hollins was pretty tight lipped on this. He said it was a personal matter, and pretty much didn’t answer any other questions about it. But yeah, a guy plays 3 games off the bench, complains about not starting, and then has to attend to personal matters. It makes one suspicious.
