Larry Sanders addressed reporters in the locker room after the game but didn't shed much light on his standing with the team.
A report on Twitter on Monday said Sanders had told team officials recently that he didn't want to play basketball any longer.
"I figured with my absence that something was going to come out sooner than later. That's not true. But what is true I would say is that I'm in the process of working things out now internally to do what's best for my physique and my physical health going forward."
