Boston Celtics forward Darius Miles has been given a 10-game suspension for violating the terms of the NBA's anti-drug program.
The NBA said the violation occurred at the end of the 2007-08 season and involved the amphetamine phentermine.
Miles was selected straight from high school by the Los Angeles Clippers as the third pick in the 2000 NBA Draft.
He played for two years with Los Angeles, two years with Cleveland and three years with Portland.
The 6-foot-9 forward, who has averaged 10.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in his career, has not played for two years due to a knee injury but was signed by the Celtics in August.
Miles' suspension will begin with the first game of the regular season.
