"I cannot thank everyone enough for the unbelievable support that has automatically been given to me while I flew home to support my family.
Not everyone will understand, but those who know our family are very aware of the circumstances and challenges we are facing.
As much as I love this University and basketball, being in the middle of a health crisis is where our family is right now and it's where I need to be.
After the loss of several very special family members this past year, I came close to losing my dad in December and my grandma is currently in the ICU. With my dad recovering and my grandma fighting for her life, it's not even a question to me where I need to be right now.
My family is my world and I will always be there for them. The past few months have quickly changed my perspective on life and I have put this into God's hands and trust His guidance.
Times like this bring out the beauty in God's people and I thank all of Tar Heel Nation, my coaches and my teammates for all the love and support. I thank you for lifting us up with your powerful prayers.
The University, this team and fans are special. Go Tar Heels."
