Sounds like an honest mistake. He is prescribed Toradol which is accepted in the NBA, but was given a Tramadol, which isn’t. Allegedly.

I feel like you have to be very dumb to get suspended for PEDs in the NBA. Maybe I'm way off on that but that's how it feels.

His grandma died, that's why he was out.

It’s already widely being reported that this isn’t a PED thing. Mixed up pain medications with very similar names.

I already thought it was a joke we didn't trade him. Aside from the defensive redundancy & playoff unreliability, he was slated to be an FA, showing disenchantment w/ the city, + at this point came to terms it was a business mutually.
Now we don't have a replacement for him, but do have 7 bigs on the roster (5 smalls, 2 mid-size guys). I would say cursed season, but look at last year. And this year we more brought it on ourselves.

It is possible. I am a mental health provider. I have prescribed medications (i.e. Prozac) and the pharmacy gave them something that sounds like it (i.e. Prazosin). I have also seen prescribers who say they will prescribe something (i.e. Prozac) and accidentally prescribe something else (i.e. Prazosin).
I am very OCD about checking my scripts and tell my patients to do the same for this reason. Bobby will be out 25 games, come back a few games before the playoffs so I am not worried about that. In fact, this may make him cheaper to re-sign in the offseason.

Maybe don't take a pill from your assistant (if that part is true), only take something given to you by the team doc

Tough blow but at least he’ll be back for the playoffs I guess.
RIP Kobe Forever. GOAT 8-24. Long Live Giannis

It’s all right there in front of you? Tramadol. Not anything recreational.

You’d think that wouldn’t come into play when the truth is literally being posted on the same page of the thread

Yeah popping a random painkiller that your assistant gives you is a crazy thing to do in his positon, if we're believing that story.

25 games for Tramadol? are you %#$#@$ kidding me. He's going to lose close to 4M pre tax too, can the players union appeal?

Well this isn't good. He was literally our only serviceable backup. Guess Giannis better get used to the 5 now.
