Police in Tennessee conducted a welfare check on Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant following cryptic messages on his Instagram story account Wednesday, with officials telling TMZ that he's just "taking a break from social media."

Earlier Wednesday, Morant posted -- and then deleted -- messages and pictures to social media saying "Love ya ma [blue heart emoji]," "Love ya pops [blue heart emoji]" and "You da greatest baby girl [blue heart emoji] love ya." He then followed those with a post that simply said, "Bye."

The Shelby County Sheriff's Office told TMZ that officers went to Morant's home to check on him.
