Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis has been suspended by the NBA for violating the league’s anti-drug policy. The suspension was announced by the league on Monday, although no details were provided on the nature of Portis’ violation.
Portis, who signed a two-year deal with the Bucks in the offseason, will be ineligible to play in any games until he has completed the league’s treatment program. It is unclear how long Portis’ suspension will last, as it will depend on his progress in the program.
The Bucks released a statement expressing disappointment in Portis’ actions and stating that they will support him as he goes through the treatment process. Portis has apologized for his mistake and is focused on getting back on the court as soon as possible.
This is not the first time a Bucks player has been suspended for violating the league’s anti-drug policy. In 2014, Larry Sanders was suspended for five games for testing positive for marijuana.
Fans of the team are hopeful that Portis will learn from this experience and come back stronger than ever.
