Back in March, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue took two weeks absence from the team in order to deal with health issues that have not been specified. Until now.

In an interview with ESPN‘s Rachel Nichols, Lue revealed that the main source of his health problems was anxiety, for which he is currently receiving treatment.

“I’m glad it wasn’t anything serious,” – said Lue. “Just anxiety and the medication I’m on is great. No more chest pains, so everything’s been great.“

Tyronn Lue has been struggling with chest pain for more than a year and underwent series of test before deciding to step away from coaching on March 19 and deal with the issues eventually returning to his duties on April 5. According to Lue, these two weeks absence helped him a lot, as he took the badly needed rest and made lifestyle changes that made his condition better.

“I think for the first time in my career, 20 years, I had a chance to focus on me. It wasn’t as bad as people thought it was. But I did have some chest pains for the last couple of years. And I was just trying to be able to get through it not knowing what was wrong with me,” – Lue revealed to Nichols. “So the two weeks I took off, just finally had a chance to focus on myself and change my diet. Hired a chef. Stopped drinking as many Shirley Temples. And stopped with the sweets and got back to taking care of myself. Now I feel great.“

Since returning to coaching, Tyronn Lue and his Cavs managed to overcome various obstacles and booked their place in the 2018 NBA Finals where they will face Golden State Warriors for the fourth straight season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are facing yet another problem in their setbacks filled 2017-18 NBA season. The Cavs announced on Monday that their head coach Tyronn Lue is taking a break from coaching in order to focus on his health. Lue has had ongoing health issues this season and was unable to coach the entire game on three occasions.

“After many conversations with our doctors and [general manager] Koby [Altman] and much thought given to what is best for the team and my health, I need to step back from coaching for the time being and focus on trying to establish a stronger and healthier foundation from which to coach for the rest of the season,” – said Lue in a statement. “I have had chest pains and other troubling symptoms, compounded by a loss of sleep, throughout the year. Despite a battery of tests, there have been no conclusions as to what the exact issue is. While I have tried to work through it, the last thing I want is for it to affect the team.“

“My goal is to come out of it a stronger and healthier version of myself so I can continue to lead this team to the Championship we are all working towards.” – he added.

Tyronn Lue first experienced problems in December, when he missed the game against the Chicago Bulls. The 40-year old then had to leave the games against the Orlando Magic in February and Saturday’s game against the Bulls because he was not feeling well.

The Cavs announced that assistant coach Larry Drew will take over as interim head coach. Drew previously served as a head coach with the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks, joining the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014.
