Orlando Magic will be without forward Rashard Lewis after the 29-year-old tested positive for an elevated testosterone level and was suspended Thursday for 10 games.
Lewis claimed in a statement that he took an over-the-counter supplement late last season which included a substance he did not realize was banned by the NBA.
"First and foremost I take full responsibility for the situation and accept the corresponding penalty," Lewis said. "I apologize to Magic fans, my team-mates and this organization for not doing the research that should come with good judgment."
He will be suspended without pay for the first 10 regular-season games for which he is eligible and physically able to play.
Lewis averaged 19.0 points in the playoffs to help lead the Magic to the NBA finals and will leave a huge hole in those first 10 games.
