Hornets: Malik Monk reinstated from indefinite drug-policy suspension

Hornets guard Malik Monk got suspended indefinitely Feb. 26 for violating the NBA's drug policy.

Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer :

Monk's suspension fit a player in Stage 1 of the Drugs of Abuse (cocaine, heroin, etc.) program who's not in compliance. If that were the case, Monk had 30 days to get into compliance. Otherwise, he would've faced Stage 2 and a voided contract.

The NBA suspended its season due to coronavirus halfway through that 30-day window, and Monk's situation slipped from public consciousness.

But it's good to hear he's back on track now.
