Police Conduct Welfare Check on Grizzlies Star Ja Morant After Cryptic Social Media Posts

Tennessee police completed a welfare check at Ja Morant’s home Wednesday after the Grizzlies star made multiple mysterious posts on his Instagram Story.

According to TMZ, the Shelby County Sherriff’s Office visited Morant’s home to make sure he was all right and safe. The check-in came after the 23-year-old posted and subsequently deleted posts on his Instagram Story early Wednesday with pictures and captions that included “Love ya ma” with a heart emoji, “love ya pops” with a heart emoji and “you da greatest baby girl” with another heart. He concluded the series of posts with an abrupt message of “bye.”

A spokesperson from the sheriff’s office reported that the two-time All-Star “is fine” and that he is “taking a break from social media,” per TMZ. The Commercial Appeal also confirmed the report.
