The Miami Heat are staying mum on the incident that sent Gerald Green to the hospital last week, but apparently the team believes he did something wrong.
The Heat on Tuesday suspended Green two games for conduct detrimental to the team, effective immediately. Miami declined to elaborate on his suspension, but Yahoo Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski reports it was a result of last week’s incident.
Green was admitted to a Miami-area hospital last Wednesday morning after law enforcement officials were called to his condominium complex. According to reports, the 29-year-old swingman was acting strangely in the lobby of the condo and “screaming at the top of his lungs” before he was taken away in an ambulance.
Then-teammate Mario Chalmers, who was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, reportedly was with Green at the scene. Green was released from the hospital after four days.
Green issued a statement via the team’s Twitter account Tuesday night.
“I want to apologize to my family, fans and the HEAT organization. I accept the suspension and look forward to rejoining my teammates this weekend.”
The former Boston Celtic will miss Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers and Thursday’s game against the Utah Jazz.
