The list of problems for Larry Sanders continues to grow. He’s taken some time off due to some ‘personal issues’ and he’s also been reported as saying he doesn’t want to play basketball anymore.
Last season, the Bucks center was suspended 5 games for violating the league’s drug policy. The 5 games being the suspension you get for testing positive for marijuana use 3 separate times.
Now, Sanders has tested positive and will be suspended again as the young and upcoming center has been suspended 10 games by the NBA.
Bucks center Larry Sanders has been suspended without pay for a minimum 10 games for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program.

It’s a shame to see that. It’s also without pay so that’s even worse. Sanders hasn’t suited up for the Bucks since December 23rd, 2014. Now he’ll be out an even longer period of time for the Bucks who are rolling right now. They’re hovering right above .500 at 21-19 and coming off a big win against the New York Knicks across the pond in London for the NBA’s talent showcase in England.
Sad stuff to see as i’m sure the Bucks would love to have Sanders return to the team and make an impact to help them get more wins. Hopefully this doesn’t trigger worse things for him.
