NBA Suspends O.J. Mayo for Two Seasons

The first day of NBA free agency is always about big signings and hundreds of millions of dollars being spread out across the NBA. But on Friday, the NBA  dropped a bomb, with the announcement that free agent guard O.J. Mayo has been suspended for the next two seasons for violating the NBA-NBA Players Association's Anti-Drug Program.

Mayo became a free agent this offseason after his three-year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks expired. The market for him was expected to be slow as he recovered from a broken ankle. Mayo averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game last season in  41 games.

While it's not known what Mayo is specifically suspended for, Mayo's two-year suspension is locked in. The 28-year-old is banned from the NBA for two seasons, but he can play overseas.
