Milwaukee’s Larry Sanders Suspended

Chris Chambers/Getty Images(MILWAUKEE, Wi.) — Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders has been suspended at least 10 games for a second violation of the NBA’s anti-drug policy.
Sanders, who is suspended effective Monday when the Bucks play the Raptors, will not be eligible to return until he has completed the league’s treatment program.
Milwaukee had been without Sanders since December 23 when rumors began to circulate that he would walk away from basketball.
Sanders spoke to the media after a January 6th game saying that he did not intend to leave the game but needed personal time.
“Without these things being corrected, I don’t think basketball will be something I can even do,” Sanders said at the time.
In 27 games this season, Sanders is averaging 21.7 minutes per game with 7.3 PPG and 6.1 RPG.
Since signing a four-year, $44 million contract extension before the 2013-2014 season, Sanders has played in 50 games with Milwaukee.
