‘I KNOW SOME

MENTAL-HEALTH

PROFESSIONALS

HATE WHEN

I USE THE WORD

STIGMA. BUT I

SEE IT IN SPORTS.’

ADAM SILVER

In 2018, Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star

Kevin Love wrote about having a panic

attack during a game and seeing a

therapist in the aftermath. Former

Toronto Raptors guard DeMar DeRozan,

another All-Star, opened up about his

struggles with depression. These

revelations helped alter the conversation

around mental health and sports.

“Historically there was a stigma around

getting help for mental-health issues,”

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said.

“I’ve seen a complete sea change.”

This season, the league is requiring

teams to hire one or two licensed mental

health professionals and to retain a

psychiatrist; teams must

tell players and staffers

how privacy and

confidentiality will

be insured and spell

out an action plan

for any mental-heath

emergencies.
