The NBA has suspended Milwaukee forward Bobby Portis Jr. for 25 games without pay because he tested positive for the painkiller Tramadol, a violation of the league’s anti-drug program.
Portis is one of the league's top bench producers, and he adds even more intangibles. Milwaukee will need other players to step up.
The Milwaukee Bucks were dealt a massive blow for the end of the regular season when it was announced that Bobby Portis would be suspended for 25 games. Portis was suspended for violating the banned substance policy within the NBA. Portis claims that he took an illegal substance unknowingly.
It's a suspension that hurts the depth of a Bucks team that has a history of having its superstars miss games. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard have missed multiple games this season due to various injuries. Antetokounmpo was asked about the Portis suspension and what his thoughts on them were. He gave a very honest answer.
