On March 19, 2018, Lue announced in a team statement that it was “best for the team and my health” to take a leave of absence. Two episodes of chest pains before games were the final straw. Lue revealed that he had “chest pains and other troubling symptoms, compounded by a loss of sleep, throughout the year.” Associate head coach Larry Drew took over in his absence. “It was caused by the stress levels. Not working out. Eating bad. I wasn’t sleeping,” Lue said. “I was trying to be good, make sure the team was in the right spot. Your goal is try to win a championship. A lot is on the line with that.”
