According to multiple reports, the 29-year-old ended up in the hospital after some kind of incident at his home.
The Heat inked Green this past summer to a one-year, $1.4 million deal.
Per TMZ and the Miami Herald:
Multiple witnesses at the condo tell us Green was acting strange in the lobby of the condo … screaming at the top of his lungs. […] We’re told from several people that there was a huge commotion and it took several people — including emergency personnel — to restrain Green and get him on a stretcher and into an ambulance.
We obtained the (911) call … made Wednesday morning … in which the caller tells 911, “I have a resident that just passed out. He’s bleeding. He just passed out right now.” […] The operator informs the caller that help is on the way — and gives instructions on how to treat Green until emergency personnel arrives.
Green, 29, was not arrested, according to the city of Miami police department. […] Police call logs show that police were summoned to the Marquis Residences Condominium, at 1100 Biscayne Blvd., at 10:46 a.m. Wednesday because of a “male down.” Green was inactive for Tuesday’s game against the Hawks with an undisclosed “illness.”
