The NBA plans to suspend center Joakim Noah 20 games for a violation of the league's anti-drug policy, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reports.

He reportedly did not knowingly violate the policy and did not fight the suspension ruling.

The players' union believes the 6-foot-11 player made an unintentional mistake.

Noah's suspension will only begin when he is "eligible and physically able to play".

This suspension is just the icing on the cake of what has been a disastrous first season for Noah with the Knicks. "Joakim has offered his deepest apologies for this infraction". He is also said to have fully cooperated with the investigation.

The players' union believes Noah made an unintentional error.

Noah finishes the 2016-17 season with 5.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists while posting a -0.1 nERd rating, ranking 179th among the 478 National Basketball Association players.

Noah underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on February 27, effectively ending his season. Noah has performed well below expectations, missing time throughout the season because of a hamstring injury.

The Knicks signed Noah to a four-year, $72 million contract last summer.
