NBA player Andre Drummond is going off the grid to improve his mental health … saying he’s quitting social media and changing his phone number to free his mind.
The Chicago Bulls center was open with his struggles to his 840k Twitter followers on Tuesday … calling on anyone battling similar issues to seek help — just like he is.
“Deleting all my social apps my Management will take over,” Drummond said. “also changing my number ..”
“Time to focus on my mental health. If you too are struggling with your mental health, you are not alone 💙 it’s okay to ask for help.”
Andre — who is averaging 6 points and nearly 7 rebounds a game for the Bulls this season — has spoken out about mental health awareness previously … and shared his path to wellness in a video with the National Basketball Players Association last year.
