MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police in Tennessee conducted a welfare check Wednesday on suspended Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant and say ''he is fine'' after cryptic messages appeared on his Instagram account and were later deleted.
The post from earlier Wednesday included messages and pictures saying ''Love ya ma,'' ''Love ya pops" and ''You da greatest babygirl love ya.'' A fourth message simply read: ''Bye.''
Shelby County Sheriff's Office spokesman John Morris told The Associated Press in a phone call that deputies checked on Morant at his home Wednesday morning.
''He advised us that he is taking a break from social media,'' Morris said.
