NEW YORK — Brooklyn Nets forward Wilson Chandler has been suspended 25 games without pay by the NBA for testing positive for Ipamorelin, a drug that increases the release of growth hormone.
The league says Thursday that Chandler's suspension will begin with the first regular-season game in which he is healthy and eligible to play.
The Nets signed the veteran forward during their busy off-season. He could play a valuable role in the absence of Kevin Durant, who is still recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon.
Chandler, a first-round pick of the New York Knicks in 2007, has averaged 12.9 points in 11 seasons.
