Mavericks' Nerlens Noel suspended until end of season for violating NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Nerlens Noel has been suspended without pay for 5 games for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program.
What It Means:
The Mavericks have five games left on the schedule, so the suspension brings Noel's season to an early end as he prepares for free agency. The 6th pick from the 2013 draft turns 24 in a week. Salah Mejri figures to pick up the bulk of Noel's minutes over the rest of the year.
Noel averaged 17.1 FanDuel points in 30 games this season, with 4.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.7 blocks in 15.8 minutes per contest.
