Memphis Grizzlies' O.J. Mayo Suspended 10 Games For Doping

O.J. Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies has been suspended 10 games without pay by the NBA for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy, according to Memphis Commercial-Appeal on Twitter.

Mayo tested positive for DHEA, which is a banned supplement generally used to help build muscle.

The Memphis reserve is adamant that he did not know this over-the-counter drug violated the drug policy.

Washington Wizards forward and former Orlando Magic three-point specialist Rashard Lewis was suspended last year for 10 games for the same substance.

It’s good to see players know what happens around the league.

Next time, O.J., just stick to some good ol’ milk and O.J. in the morning.

Mayo is slowly seeing his NBA career evaporate before his eyes.

Once a top prospect out of USC, Mayo has been pushed to the bench in Memphis.

Mayo desperately needs to get out of Memphis, as they clearly have no desire to use him adequately.

Mayo is a shooter. He needs the ball. Memphis doesn’t want to give it to him.

Let’s get the young stud in a New York Knicks uniform as soon as possible. Or at least back to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the original team that drafted him.

Both teams could greatly benefit from acquiring a shooter like O.J. Mayo.

Until Mayo gets out of Memphis, he’s going to be moving slower to the top than it took to get mayonnaise out of the old school jar.
