NBA star experienced the brutal reality of professional sport in the modern age on Wednesday, learning he had lost his job with the Minnesota Timberwolves via social media.
The 29-year-old had one year left on his deal with the Timberwolves, but he was alerted to the fact he had been cut by ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski, with the franchise declining to guarantee his $7.4million (£5.86m) contract for the 2023/24 season.
Prince, who has averaged more than 10 points per game and has been an effective role player in his seven-year NBA career, was stunned in his response.
