The Heat guard is hospitalized at this hour after police were called to his condominium following a commotion earlier today. The city of Miami police department told The Herald that Green was not arrested.
Police call logs show that police were summoned to the Marquis Residences Condominium, at 1100 Biscayne Blvd., at 10:46 am today because of a "male down."
According to a Herald source, Miami Fire and Rescue requested assistance because of a "combative patient" at that address.
Police assisted but did not write a report and nobody was arrested at the condominium.
Multiple witnesses at the condo told TMZ that Green "was acting strange in the lobby of the condo ... screaming at the top of his lungs."
TMZ said it was by told by 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."
Mario Chalmers was at the scene, tried to help and accompanied Green in the ambulance, according to TMZ. The Herald has confirmed that Chalmers was with Green at the hospital today.
"This morning we were informed that Gerald Green was admitted into the hospital," the Heat said in a statement. "Right now our concerns are with Gerald and we have no further comment at this time.”
Green, 29, was inactive for Tuesday's game against the Hawks with an undisclosed illness.
Green has never been suspended by the NBA for an off-court incident, and there is nothing documented in his past to suggest anything related to mental illness.
The Heat did not practice Wednesday and are flying this afternoon to play in Minnesota Thursday night.
