Bobby Portis Suspended 25 Games
13 seconds agoMilwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis has been suspended for 25 games for violating the league's anti-drug policy. Portis's agent confirmed the suspension and said that his client unintentionally took a pain medication called Tramadol instead of Toradol. Portis had been more active lately, helping the Bucks fill in for the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf), who is questionable to return on Thursday against the Clippers. Portis averaged 16.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in his 29.8 minutes per game over his last five contests. Without Portis, the Bucks lose a key depth piece and will have to rely more heavily on the recently acquired Kyle Kuzma in addition to Taurean Prince, Brook Lopez, and Andre Jackson Jr. Portis will be eligible to return April 8 against the Timberwolves with just four games left in the regular season.
