Last Thursday, Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis Jr. was suspended 25 games for violating the league’s anti-drug policy. Portis tested positive for the painkiller Tramadol, which he used to treat an elbow injury.

On Wednesday night, Draymond Green received a technical foul in the first Golden State Warriors game of the 2024-25 NBA regular season. While this may not come as a surprise, I believe that it isn’t necessarily indicative of his behavior to come.
