[Mosby]

Oklahoma City Thunder center Enes Kanter is being detained in Romania after his passport was "canceled" by the Turkish embassy on Saturday morning, he said in a video posted to Twitter.

Kanter, who arrived in Bucharest from Jakarta, Indonesia, as part of his 2017 Enes Kanter Light Foundation global tour, posted a video on Twitter in which police officers have "been holding us here for hours."

"The reason behind it is just, of course, my political views," Kanter, who turned 25 Saturday, said in the video. "And the guy who did it is Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey."

The Thunder said they are working with the league office and gathering information through the appropriate channels.
