Earlier this morning, we told you about what Carmelo Anthony had to say about the riots that have taken place in Baltimore over the last 24 hours. He took to Instagram last night to call for peace and justice and pleaded with people not to resort to violence in the city that he called home for much of his youth:

But we think it's important to let you know that Carmelo is not the only professional athlete who has used social media to speak up about what's happening in Baltimore. In fact, there have been lots of athletes—including quite a few who play or played in the Baltimore area—who have shared their opinions on the riots, showed their support for the city, and offered up their prayers for those who have been affected by everything that has gone down.

Here, we've included a bunch of their reactions. Scroll down to see what athletes like Ray Lewis, John Wall, Paul Pierce, and others have said about the #BaltimoreRiots.
