Wizards center Brendan Haywood has issued a public apology for comments he made about Stephon Marbury recently.

In a radio interview, Haywood criticized Marbury for his recent video blogs, calling them "disturbing" and making a number of comments hinting towards homosexuality.

"My last blog about some of Stephon Marbury's actions, combined with a radio interview that I did, have been misinterpreted by some as speaking out against homosexuality. I've received some comments and so have the Wizards about it. I just wanted to take a time out and let you know that no disrespect was intended," Haywood wrote on Yardbarker.

"I was just trying to have fun with a crazy situation. I don't support or condemn homosexuality and I believe in everyone making choices for themselves. If it doesn't affect me, I don't really care. I hope no one was offended because I wasn't trying to come off like Tim Hardaway."
