By Steve Gardner, USA TODAY: Junior forward Jalen Hill, who left the UCLA men’s basketball team midway through the 2020-21 season for personal reasons, has decided to step away from the sport for good.
Hill revealed his decision in a six-minute video posted to his Instagram account on Tuesday. He cited “a bunch of anxiety and depression problems” that date back to before his freshman season at UCLA, when he and teammates LiAngelo Ball and Cody Riley were arrested for shoplifting during the team’s preseason trip to China in 2017.
