Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's Instagram posts prompted Tennessee police to conduct a welfare check on Tuesday, TMZ reported. 'He is fine,' a spokesperson from the Shelby County Sheriff's Office confirmed to The Commercial Appeal. 'He advised us that he is taking a break from social media.'
During his time away from the team, Morant told reporters the"I don't have an alcohol problem. I've never had an alcohol problem," Morant."I went there for counseling. To learn how to manage stress — cope with stress in a positive way. Instead of, you know, ways I've tried to deal with it before that caused me to make mistakes."
Because this is his second incident of this nature, Morant could be facing a"significant suspension to start next season," ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski"I know I've disappointed a lot of people who have supported me," Morant said in a statement, two days after the most recent gun video."This is a journey and I recognize there is more work to do. My words may not mean much right now, but I take full accountability for my actions.
In more off-court issues, Morant is currently being sued by a high schooler, who alleges the NBA star punched him during a pickup game and flashed a gun afterward. He missed a potential supermax contract after not being selected All-NBA this season. His endorsement deals with Nike and Powerade also appear to hang in the balance, after the sports drink company pulled an advertisement of his and the shoe giant removed his signature shoes from their site.
