I'm sure they did. However, I'd suggest it's one thing hearing about some drunken shenanigans and an entirely different one seeing the reality and its possible fall out. I'm sure the Cas lads knew about Hardaker's indiscretions before they were announced but look at how that affected them once it was.
SW apparently only told the team of his leaving on the Monday following Magic.
My point is neither incident would have had much bearing on the Magic performance which is what I believe you were asking?
