Milwaukee Bucks player John Henson claims he was a victim of racial discrimination.

In a lengthy Instagram post, the 24-year-old center/power forward wrote Monday that he went to Schwanke-Kasten Jewelers in Whitefish Bay, Wis., to look at a watch, but ended up being locked out and told to go away. The 6-foot-11 Henson says two police cruisers arrived shortly after, and the cops questioned him about his car -- he has a dealer vehicle as part of his endorsement deal -- and about "things that were just irrelevant to (Henson) being there just trying to shop at the store like a normal paying customer would do."

Henson signed a four-year, $44 million extension with the Bucks this offseason.

Whitefish Bay Now spoke to Schwanke-Kasten owner Tom Dixon, who said "the Whitefish Bay Police Department had informed local business owners to be on alert, and the employees' actions were in response to the police department's warning." Dixon did not say for what they were supposed to be on alert.

The jewelry store has since made all of its social media accounts private.
