The reason, ostensbly, is is gastroenteritis. The stomach flu. Flu-like symptoms. Oh God.
We take you now to the National Basketball Association, which has the most public relationship with flue-like symptoms of all the sports.
I just figured out in the NBA *Flu Like Symptoms* mean hangover.

Yes, in sports "flu-like symptoms" are often a byword for "hangover." This does not look good for our young friend Carlos. Especially because he was reportedly spotted at a Chris Brown concert the night before.

Don't do it, Carlos. Don't start missing practice for the likes of Chris Brown. Chris Brown hits women. And his music is awful. Get your s*** together and go to practice, Carlos. Trust us.
