Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis received a 25-game suspension after testing positive for tramadol, a pain medication. Portis's agent explained that the mixup occurred when he took tramadol, thinking it was Toradol, which he uses for an elbow contusion. This suspension comes at a crucial time, with only 29 games left in the season, jeopardizing the Bucks' efforts in a tight playoff race. Portis will lose approximately $2.8 million due to this suspension, while the team, already thin on talent after making recent trades, is further compromised.
"The tramadol pill he took came from an assistant of his, with a valid prescription for the painkiller, which he mistakenly told Bobby was Toradol."
"After trading the permanently injured Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma...they are extremely thin on two-way players, wing-sized players, and two-way wings."
