Iowa basketball player Patrick McCaffery says he has been struggling with his appetite, sleep and stamina and cannot give his best to the team.
McCaffery clarified that the anxiety is not related to his past battle with thyroid cancer.
"Patrick is one of the millions of people who battle through anxiety on a daily basis," Fran McCaffery said in a statement."It has become more noticeable on and off the court over the past couple weeks. Patrick has the full support of his family, coaches, teammates and administration as he fights through this. All of us admire his courage and willingness to be open about this struggle. And we hope others know that they are not alone. We will be with him every step of the way.
But in the three games since, McCaffery has shot a combined 5-for-30 from the floor, including 2-for-15 from 3-point range, and averaged 6.7 points in losses to Eastern Illinois, Nebraska and Penn State. The Hawkeyes are 8-6 overall and 0-3 in Big Ten play.
