O.J. Mayo isn't missing. Apparently, he's just been spending a lot of time at the gym.
The 29-year-old guard, who received a two-year ban from the NBA in 2016 for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program, was the subject of a feature by Bleacher Report's Ryan Jones chronicling his rise and fall. Jones spent the past 10 months speaking to dozens of Mayo's former teammates, coaches, agents, GMs, and players union reps - most of whom said they hadn't heard from him.
Mayo issued a response Thursday on Instagram, sharing a photo of himself working out:
The photo was the first Mayo has posted on Instagram since January, but he was photographed with fellow USC alumni Taj Gibson recently:
