There is probably something in the bearing. I would go and clean it with mineral spirits.

Use some thin lube, if that doesn’t work, you may need a new bearing. SPEC bearings run abou 8 bucks.

Maybe it was stuck on the shield. The next time that happens I wouldn’t immediately jump to clean your bearing or replace your bearing. Just check it and put some thin lube.
