Portis being suspended for this many games means he is all but going to miss the rest of the regular season.
Portis’ agent has responded to the violation and provided a bit of details about what led to the player’s massive suspension.

According to a release from Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports, “Bobby unintentionally took a pain medication called Tramadol, thinking he was taking a pain medication called Toradol.”
Apparently, Portis accidentally took the wrong pain medication, which led to the suspension. It will be interesting to see if the NBA will investigate further to allow the forward to seek a much smaller suspension. He may also attempt an appeal due to the suspension details.
Either way, Portis will not take the court until the near-end of the regular season.
