Portis' agent, Mark Bartelstein, released a statement claiming that the violation was essentially a mix-up. Bartelstein said Portis thought he was taking a pain medication called Toradol, which is approved, but instead took Tramadol, which is not.

Guess the NBA doesn't buy this, or its just zero tolerance.

Tramadol isn't even that serious. 25 games without pay is nuts, I'm appealing if I'm Bobby.

Yeah, I agree. If he's abusing it, that's one thing... but it's a pretty common painkiller that gets prescribed to the average joe for certain conditions of after surgery.

Tramadol??? What performance does it enhance? His ability to sleep after injury?

Kyrie out for the year with a torn ACL. I feel so bad for the Mavs, man... This year couldn't have gone worse for them.

The idea that LaVine was some kind of bum was so bizarre. Philly giving a max contract to a washed PG when they could have gotten Zach for a basketball pump was a major fumble.
