NEW YORK (AP) -- New Orleans Hornets forward Chris Andersen was dismissed from the NBA Friday for violating the league's drug policy.
Andersen must wait two years before he can apply for reinstatement, the league said.
Andersen, 27, averaged 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 32 games this season, his fifth in the NBA.
He played three seasons for the Nuggets before joining the Hornets.

I'm not sure what the NBA drug policy is but 2 years is a lot.

FYI, Andersen's name in the topic title is misspelled.

Anyway, he could go down as the biggest punchline in NBA history. First, he put up the worst performance ever at the dunk contest last year, and now this. What a tool.

Take it easy. First of all we don't know what drug it was and even if it was illegal. And compared to other players who were suspended for using illegal drugs (guys from Portland) this suspension is a lot. I never said he didn't deserve the punishment he got but just compared to the past it is a lot.
