Detroit Pistons guard Lindsey Hunter was suspended 10 games without pay by the NBA on Wednesday for using an amphetamine.
The league announced Hunter tested positive for ***********, a substance banned by the NBA's Anti-Drug Program. *********** is an appetite suppressant classified as an amphetamine.
Hunter's suspension begins with Wednesday's game against Cleveland. The 36-year-old guard will not be eligible to play until March 25 against Milwaukee.
In 39 games this season, Hunter is averaging 4.6 points and 14 minutes.

LOL at Lindsey's quote about how diet pills never work.
Good of him to speak up about it right away, admit that he made a mistake, and tell the story of what happened.

I'd actually rather have Flip play. At least he isn't afraid to shoot and he seems to be getting more judicious in his shot selection too

Re: Hunter suspended for 10 games

Its hard because you don't want the guy to get out of the flow but you also want him to be rested. I would hope to see him play limited minutes just to stay game ready.
