the The American Professional League Stuck Milwokuki Paczz forward Bobby Portis Junior For 25 games without salaries because he tested positively about the tradol pain reliever, which is a violation of the drug control program in the league.
Portis cannot play again until April 8-match 79 for Milwaukee 82 games in the normal season-in the earliest time. He begins his comment on the game of Pacz on Thursday against Los Angeles Clippers.
“I was dealing with the elbow injury and I used an accredited drug from the American Professional League for pain and inflammation,” Portis said in a statement issued by the team. “During that time, I made a honest mistake and took an unacceptable anti -inflammatory pill. I feel terrified and realize that I am responsible for what I put in my body.”
His agent, Mark Partchtein, said that Portis was inadvertently taking the pain “.” Bartelstein said he was taking Tordol, who was approved and was something he had taken before. Portris did not realize that he was taking Tramadol – which was properly described, but he was on the list of prohibited materials in the American Professional League.
“I am deeply disappointed because the American Professional League choose to explain its policy strictly, and that the policy does not allow a different result of sincere mistake in pure intentions,” Partchtein said in the statement. “Bobby loves to be part of the American Professional League and loves to be a model to follow a great opportunity to improve and build his reputation and performance in every way, inside and outside the court.”
The average Portis – which is considered one of the most stringent players in the league, is a major part of the rotation of Pacz – 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds for Pakz this season, and often plays on the bench.
The 30-year-old Portis will lose 2,858,701 dollars from the salary due to the suspension, which comes with Pacz.
It is a blow to Pakuz, who are between 21-10 when Portice scores at least 10 points this season. When he does not do that, they are 8 to 14 years old-and they will enter Thursday, it is 2-5 this season when he does not play with all of these five losses by at least 10 points.
“This is a very difficult set of circumstances for Bubi and our team,” John Horst General Manager Pacz said in a statement. “He and Pac have a NBA/NBAPA drug control program and they will accept what has been delivered. But we support 100 % Bobby. We will take this opportunity together for growth and you will get the Bobby and Melocke team better and stronger. It is an integral part of whom we are, and a huge member of the Milwoki community, And we look forward to his return.
The suspension occurs only when Pacz appeared about to get a full list after making multiple moves on the deadline for trade, including the All-Star Trade three times Khreis Middleton To Washington and Wizards.
Twice mvp Anttokounmpo He missed the last six games in the Pacz before the All-Star break with a tense left hurry, but it was practiced on Wednesday, which is doubtful for a match on Thursday with Los Angeles Clippers. Anttokounmpo still did not play together with the new Paczi players Kyle Kozmaand Kevin Porter Junior. and Jericho SimsWho all joined the team on the deadline.
Portis spoke to the media after Wednesday in Pacz and was asked about his aspiration to see how the team can be available as soon as everyone is available.
“The deadline for trade was two weeks ago and we are now able to see what it looks like,” Portis said. “I think it is a kind of fun for us to move forward, especially for dismantling the game, and discover what everyone does well and tries to make it imagine to one.”
Portis in his tenth season in the American Professional League, after spending half that time with Pacz. It was part of the 2021 Milwaukee Championship in the American Professional League and played basketball in the United States of America in the 2023 World Cup in Manila.
It is one of the four players of the rest of the Pacze championship team, along with Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez and Pat Konoton.
“From the bottom of my heart, I would like to apologize to the Baches, my teammates, coaches, family, and fans,” Portis said in his statement. “I give everything I have on the field and I will miss to play games with Pacz during this time. I will continue to work hard and be ready for long playing in the qualifiers. Thank you for your support. I appreciate that more than you know.”
