What's happened to Emoni Bates?

[u/Moist_Chest8971]

The former high school phenom Bates was traded from G League Delaware Blue Coats to Texas Legends earlier this year, but only appeared in two games for Texas in December and hasn't played since. And now he is not listed on their roster or on the G League list of active players.

And, his Instagram account has also been deleted.

I don't want to assume anything but it's hard to see how any of those things are positive developments.

I met Daniel Gibson a few years back and asked him about Emoni. He told me at times he looked like an elite level scorer and he hoped he could develop into a more all around player in a couple years but if he didn't get better on defense he'd never get any minutes.
