Milwaukee Bucks Bobby Portis Jr. suspended 25 games over drug policy violation
Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis, Jr., will miss Thursday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers after the NBA announced he violated the league’s anti-drug policy.
The NBA said Portis was penalized with an unpaid 25-game suspension because he tested positive for Tramadol. The drug is a painkiller often used for patients following surgery, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Portis explained in a statement that he used the drug while recovering from an elbow injury and had been using “an NBA-approved medication for pain and inflammation.”
“During that time, I made an honest mistake and took a pain-reducing anti-inflammatory pill that is not approved,” he said. “I feel horrible and recognize that I’m responsible for what I put in my body.”
The 30-year-old apologized to the entire Bucks organization, including the fans, for his error.
“I give everything I have on the court and will terribly miss playing games for the Bucks during this time,” he said. “I will continue to work hard and be ready for our long playoff run.”
Jon Horst, the Bucks general manager, said in a statement that the team respects the NBA’s suspension. He added that it was a “very difficult set of circumstances” but the team supports Portis.
“Together we will take this opportunity to grow and will have a better and stronger Bobby and Milwaukee Bucks team,” Horst said. “He’s an integral part of who we are, a huge member of the Milwaukee community, and we look forward to his return.”

Travelers see shorter lines at Milwaukee Mitchell despite the ongoing partial government shutdown
MILWAUKEE — Despite a partial government shutdown causing long TSA lines at airports across the country, travelers at Milwaukee Mitchell airport are experiencing short wait times ahead of spring break.
John Wahlen and his colleague Joe Orendorf were coming back home from North Carolina and prepared for a much different scene.
“We were remarkably surprised that it was as easy as it was,” Wahlen said.

A national TSA spokesperson told TMJ4 that over 3,450 TSA officers called out across the country on Thursday. The national call-out rate was at 11.83% percent, the highest since the shutdown began.
While the TSA could not provide specific numbers for Milwaukee Mitchell, the airport was not in the top-10 for call-out rates.
The highest percentages of call-offs came from much larger airports, including George Bush Intercontinental in Houston at 44 percent, Atlanta at almost 41 percent, and Baltimore at 37 percent.
“We were in smaller airports, Raleigh-Durham, I think we waited for two people, and one of them was him,” Orendorf said.

A spokesperson for Milwaukee Mitchell told TMJ4 that around 11,000 people are expected this Friday and Saturday, and next Friday and Saturday as spring break travel peaks.
President Trump signed an executive order to pay TSA agents, meaning a resolution may be on the horizon. Travelers, including Selena Mauricio, said they are thankful for the agents who are still showing up.

“Their jobs aren’t easy, and I commend the ones that still come to work, definitely,” Mauricio said.
