NEW YORK (AFP) — Brooklyn Nets forward Wilson Chandler was suspended 25 games without pay by the NBA on Thursday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug Ipamorelin, the league announced.
The violation of the NBA and NBA Players Association anti-drug program involved a growth hormone drug.
Chandler’s ban will begin with the next NBA regular-season game for which he is eligible and physically able to play. He was limited last season by a hamstring injury.
Chandler signed a one-year contract with the Nets last month, joining the club whose major off-season additions were injured superstar Kevin Durant and former Boston and Cleveland guard Kyrie Irving.
The 32-year-old American was selected 23rd overall by New York in the 2007 NBA Draft and is preparing to start his 12th NBA campaign.
