According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Brooklyn Nets forward Wilson Chandler will miss the first 25 games of the upcoming season due to testing positive for a PED.
Chandler’s test came back positive for Ipamorelin, a growth hormone stimulant.
With newly-signed Kevin Durant likely sidelined for the season as he recovers from his torn Achilles and now Chandler out of the lineup for 25 games, the Net’s forward rotation will be strained, with Taurean Prince, Joe Harris and Caris LeVert will likely be charged with picking up that slack.
Chandler signed a one-year deal with the Nets in July after averaging 6.0 points and 4.2 rebounds while knocking down 37.3 % of his threes last season for the Philadelphia 76ers.
