Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's Instagram posts prompted Tennessee law enforcement to conduct a welfare check 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."
The 23-year-old posted a series of photos on his Instagram story, writing affectionate messages to his mother, father, sister and daughter. He concluded with a photo of himself being interviewed after a game and captioned it "bye."
Morant deleted the posts within minutes, leaving fans to speculate about their meaning.
