Yeah, it sounds like an unfortunate situation, especially if it was truly an honest mistake. Tramadol is a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and dependency, so the NBA likely has a strict stance on it. But 25 games is a pretty hefty suspension, especially for a player who has been a key contributor for the Bucks.

Do you think the league should have considered the context of the mistake more, or is it fair to stick to a strict policy?
