TMZ Sports reported that police officers were dispatched to check on Morant.
The media outlet was informed that the officers performed a welfare check on the young basketball player after he posted the now-deleted social media messages. They stated that he is not in any danger.
Barely two months after being suspended by the NBA for eight games after flashing a gun while he was at a strip club in Denver on his Instagram Live, Morant was suspended from team activities after being viewed, once again on a social media post. This time, he was seen brandishing a gun while he was in the passenger seat of his friend’s vehicle.
