Thompson Tested Positive for Performance-Enhancing Substances, Eligible to Return in Mid-March

Tristan Thompson, Cleveland Cavaliers center, has been suspended for 25 games by the NBA for violating the league's anti-drug policy.
Thompson tested positive for ibutamoren and SARM LGD-4033, both performance-enhancing substances that improve strength and speed up recovery.
The suspension will begin with Cleveland's game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, making Thompson eligible to return in mid-March.
Thompson, in his second stint with the Cavaliers, is averaging 3.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game this season.
Thompson's suspension comes as a blow to the Cavaliers, who have won eight straight games despite several personnel losses.
