The Trail Blazers forward talks to Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN.com, says account was hacked.
Earlier this week Portland Trail Blazers forward Al-Farouq Aminu came under scrutiny as homophobic tweets from 2010 and 2011 surfaced as part of a larger collection of older twitter submissions by NBA players.
Today Kevin Arnovitz of ESPN posted a response from Aminu during which he said the contents of the tweets "saddened" him but that he disavowed authoring them.
