Not a good look for the Cavs big man.

Tristan Thompson has had an interesting career ever since winning an NBA title back in 2016. Overall, it has been difficult for him to find solid work. He has jumped between the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and Chicago Bulls. Furthermore, he has even been on TV for NBA Today. Needless to say, he has done it all. This year, however, he has been back on the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is a depth player for the team, and he has certainly ingratiated himself with the fans out in the Land.

Unfortunately for Thompson, it appears as though his season is being stopped in its tracks. This is because the NBA star tested positive for PEDs recently. In a statement released by the NBA, Thompson had growth hormone in his system. Consequently, he has been suspended for 25 games. At this time, Thompson has not reacted to the suspension. Regardless, this is one of those things that can be pretty hard to fight. Moreover, the NBA takes this seriously as it calls into question the integrity of the league.

The NBA has had a strong anti-doping policy for quite some time now. As a result, it has been rare for the league to come across players breaking it. However, when someone does end up breaking it, it is a massive deal. At this time, no one knows what this will mean for Thompson and his career. After all, once you test positive for PEDs, it is difficult to get people to trust you again. Hopefully, we get more details on all of this, very soon.
