Javon Freeman-Liberty and the Brisbane Bullets have parted ways, reports Michael Randall from CODE Sports Basketball.
CODE sports reported the star NBL import has been dealing with challenges with his mental wellbeing and, after meetings this week, both player and club decided it was his best interests to return home to Chicago to focus on himself.
Club chief executive Mal Watts confirmed the decision was mutual.
“The wellbeing of our players always comes first and we are fully supportive of this outcome,” Watts said.
“We are grateful for Javon’s contribution to the club and wish him all the best.”
Freeman-Liberty, who has missed the Bullets’ past two games with a hamstring strain, arrived at the club with much fanfare after a stint with the Chicago Bulls at NBA Summer League where he was one of the best scorers in Vegas.
The explosive wing shot down reports last month that he was homesick.
