Per the league’s announcement today, both players have been suspended for five games after their third positive test for marijuana.

“Following the first positive test, the player is required “to submit to treatment, counseling and aftercare testing in the program. A second violation will result in a $25,000 fine, a third violation will result in a 5-game suspension, and any subsequent violations will result in a suspension that is five games longer than the player’s immediately-preceding marijuana suspension”, the announcement reads.

Dallas’ Noel will begin his suspension on Tuesday night against the Trail Blazers, and Sefolosha, who is ruled out with a knee injury, will begin his suspension when he is able to play.
