Larry Sanders recently told some members of the Milwaukee Bucks' front office that he doesn't want to play basketball anymore, according to sources.

Sanders is in the first season of a four-year, $44 million extension and hasn't played in the past six games.

Jason Kidd initially told the media that Sanders had the flu, but he said on Friday he was away for "personal reasons."

Some friends of Sanders told Woelfel last summer that he wasn't committed to basketball and was interested in exploring other options.
