He did not elaborate, but could those personal reasons have been because Monday was his birthday and he wanted to stay at his house in Houston to celebrate? Happy birthday to me, Practice starts at 3, All my teammates will be there, But I'll be home eating brie. Must have been a heckuva party. Francis came out Tuesday and said he couldn't even see, evidenced by his 2-of-10 shooting, six points and four turnovers.</div> Source
