Reggie Bullock suspended five games for drug offense

Reggie Bullock of the Detroit Pistons and Monta Ellis of the Indiana Pacers were both suspended by the NBA for the first five games of the 2017-18 NBA season on Friday.

Per Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today:

Pistons' Reggie Bullock and Pacers' Monta Ellis suspended five games for violating NBA's anti-drug policy.

These suspensions will both be without pay, and while Ellis is under contract with the Pacers this suspension throws a cloud over Bullock’s future with the Pistons. Bullock will become a restricted free agent on July 1st, and the team has already given no indication whether it plans to extend him a qualifying offer.
