The National Basketball Association announced that Milwaukee Bucks center Larry Sanders has been suspended again for violating the league's anti-drug program. Because he is now a multiple offender of the policy, Sanders will be sidelined 10 games.

He was already absent from the team for "personal reasons" and has not played since Dec. 23.

Sanders addressed his absence on Jan. 6, telling reporters, "I'm in the process of working things out now internally to do what's best for my psyche and my physical health going forward. So there's a lot of evaluating going on, there's a lot of inside talk just to put myself in the best place for my health right now."

He did not accompany the Bucks on their trip to London this week.
