He is probably going to confirm illness.
Sounds like he might confirm he has Covid and the rumours are just speculation/bullshit.
To be fair Bruce as much as I don't like him has a good with managing mavericks/flair. There was only really HBA he struggled with but he was largely unmanageable at that stage.
Mind its probably cause he just lets them do what they want as long as they make him look good.
He's at home with his kids.
