Dallas Mavericks star player Cale Makar has been banned indefinitely from all team activities after testing positive for a prohibited substance, league sources tell ESPN.

According to team officials, the NBA was notified late last night of the positive result, triggering an automatic suspension while the investigation is pending. Details of the banned substance have not been officially disclosed, but league sources suggest it was detected during routine off-season testing.

The Mavericks released a short statement this morning:

> “We are aware of the situation involving Cale Makar. We will fully cooperate with the league’s process and support our player while respecting the NBA’s policies.”

Makar, who had quickly become one of the team’s most high-profile acquisitions, is now facing uncertainty over his immediate playing future. League disciplinary committees are expected to meet later this week to determine the length and conditions of any formal suspension.
