Thunder's Mitch McGary: Suspended additional 10 games

McGary has been suspended an additional 10 games to begin the 2016-17 season for non-compliance with the NBA's drug policy, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.

McGary had already been facing a five-game suspension for a violation of the policy back in July, so he'll now be ineligible for the first 15 games of the season. It's another setback for the former Michigan star, who faced a drug-related suspension in college prior to entering the 2014 NBA Draft. While he's played only sparingly over the last two seasons, McGary remains a relatively high-upside prospect, but it's unclear if the Thunder still consider him part of their long-term plans. Despite parting ways with Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka over the summer, the Thunder have plenty of depth in the frontcourt, so it wouldn't be a surprise if GM Sam Presti explores the idea of trading McGary or even waiving him at the conclusion of training camp.
