The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without Tristan Thompson for roughly the next two months.
Thompson has been suspended 25 games by the NBA for violating the league's NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program. He tested positive for ibutamoren and SARM LGD-4033, both of which are considered performance enhancers, according to a league statement.
Thompson's suspension will begin with Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll be eligible to return from the suspension for the Cavs' March 16 game against the Houston Rockets.
This past offseason, Thompson signed a one-year deal with the Cavs worth just north of $3.1 million. Off the bench, he's averaged 3.8 points and 3.9 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game.
