Miami Heat wing Gerald Green is in the hospital, according to a statement released by the team.
"This morning we were informed that Gerald Green was admitted into the hospital. Right now our concerns are with Gerald and we have no further comment at this time."
The Sun Sentinel's Ira Winderman reports guard Mario Chalmers was with him when the EMTs arrived.
Green, who signed with the Heat this summer, missed last night's game with what the team described as an illness. Although rumors circulated on Twitter of a potential arrest, police say that isn't the case, per the Miami Herald.
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 Rescue requested assistance because of a "combative patient" at that address.
According to a CBS4 News source, Green was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
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."
