Ja Morant apologized on Twitter for reposting an image on social media with a profanity directed at police officers on the back of his jersey, writing that it "didn't clearly and accurately convey what I wanted to share."
On Sunday, the Memphis Grizzlies rookie point guard reposted an image that had the word "F---" and the number 12 displayed on the back of his jersey. Morant's jersey number is 12, but "F--- 12" is an anti-police slang term.
Morant wrote "want dat on my jersey fr" on his tweet and also shared the image on his Instagram story with a similar message.
