NEW YORK (AP) — New York Knicks’ center Joakim Noah has been suspended 20 games without pay for violating the league’s anti-drug policy.
The NBA announced the suspension Saturday, saying Noah tested positive for Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator LGD-4033 — something that can be found in over-the-counter supplements.
Yahoo Sports first reported the suspension.
Noah has not played since Feb. 4 and was likely to miss the Knicks’ final 10 games this season because of a knee injury. The NBA said Noah’s suspension will begin with the “first NBA regular season or playoff game for which he is eligible and physically able to play.
