Osteitis pubis, also known as pubic symphysitis, is pain and inflammation at the pubic symphysis. The pubic symphysis is where the right and left pubic bones meet. Your pubic bones are a part of the pelvis at your lower abdomen and groin.
How does it occur?
Osteitis pubis usually occurs from activities that you do often and repeat the same movement over and over, such as running or jumping.
What are the symptoms?
The most common symptom is pain directly over the pubic symphysis. The pain may begin gradually and may sometimes move to different places along the groin and pelvis. You may have pain in the groin, at the muscles that attach to the pelvis, and at the pubic bone.
How is it diagnosed?
Your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and examine you. You may have tenderness at your pubic bone or at the muscles that attach to the pubic bone. You may have an x-ray. Sometimes scans such as a bone scan or an MRI are needed to check for irritation at the pubic symphysis.
How is it treated?
This problem requires rest until the symptoms go away. If running causes pain, you should swim or bicycle instead. You may need to rest from all activities. Participating in activities that cause pain will mean that healing will take longer. Sometimes it takes 2 to 3 months or longer for symptoms to go away. Anti-inflammatory medicines (such as ibuprofen) and putting an ice pack on the area for 20 to 30 minutes 3 to 4 times a day will help. Osteitis pubis requires more rest than rehabilitation and most of all requires patience.

It's no laughing matter. Hope Mo feels better soon, he is a good guy.

Osteitis pubis is a very very common problem which I would say at least 10% of athletes get, some cases are severe and some are not. Most good athletes can play through it though.
Really not a laughing matter though....I know for a fact that a lot of AFL (Australian Football League) players get Osteitis pubis, and it can ruin some of their careers. Just like Jonathan Brown, best player in the league by far but misses lots of games due to Osteitis pubis
When I actually saw why Mo didn't play I thought it said "Pubic Symptoms" and I was like wtf? Maybe he has herpes or something. I think I thought it said Pubic Symptoms because I see a lot of players go out with flu-like symptoms....
