Cavaliers issue 25-game suspension to Tristan Thompson for violating anti-drug policy

The Cleveland Cavaliers have issued a 25-game suspension to Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy, Tristan Thompson, for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy. Well, ABC News reports that the 32-year-old backups center was suspended without pay after testing positive for ibutamoren, a growth hormone, and SARM LGD-4033, commonly used by bodybuilders and weight lifters for muscle enhancement.

The NBA, along with other sports franchises, have been very careful around players using these enhancements and they really are very specific. They have things that are on the list, if you take them, you’re gone. The team is saying they are supporting Tristan during his suspension. You know, he has a great voice. bounced around numerous teams, having played with Boston, Sacramento, Indiana, Chicago, and the Los Angeles Lakers.

I wish him the best. Hopefully, he’ll get his life together.

Halle Berry’s “The Mothership” removed from release schedule

Halle Berry’s “The Mothership” has become the latest victim in a Hollywood trend of canceling completed movies and having them taken off the release schedule. Well, principal photography was completed back in 2021, although the film underwent apparently numerous post-production delays. They are also saying that it still needs extensive reshoots, but the issue is that the children in the movie have aged since the filming wrapped.

Well, Berry hasn’t commented publicly on the cancelation of her new film, though she will stay in business with Netflix even beyond her deal with them. She will next be seen in Netflix’s “The Union,” starring alongside Mark Wahlberg, Mike Colter, and J.K. Simmons, which is in post-production.

Hey, never count Halle out. That girl always rises.
