New York, NY (Basketball News) - Houston Rockets forward Maurice Taylor was suspended without pay for a minimum of 10 games by the league for violating the terms of the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program.

Taylor’s suspension begins with Saturday’s contest against the Orlando Magic and will continue until he has resumed full compliance with his treatment program.

The NBA, its teams and the NBPA are prohibited from publicly disclosing information regarding the testing or treatment of any player in the program, other than to announce a player’s suspension or dismissal from the league.
