Alex Abrines took to Instagram to explain why he left the Oklahoma City Thunder midway through the season, saying that he lost his love for the game.

Abrines averaged 5.3 points in 31 games last season.

"Dear friend, what a mess! So much time spent together and now you do this to me. We’ve known each other since I did not know how to walk. Years and years of indestructible friendship until a few months ago when everything broke into a thousand pieces just because you started to frighten me. I couldn’t even see you. I even got to hate you. To be with you was little less than an obligation. I avoided you in the slightest chance. I just wanted to run away from you and everything around you. I spent a lot of time telling myself that all this could not be truth, it didn’t make sense, it had to go back to what it was," announced Abrines.

Abrines will return to Barcelona, where he played before making the move to the Thunder.
