Fresh off of recording a double-double in the Denver Nuggets’ first scrimmage game on Wednesday, Bol Bol was subject to a random drug test afterward by the NBA.
According to Mike Singer of the Denver Post, the drug test was scheduled ahead of time to take place but the timing of it was pure comedy. Players have often said they will be “randomly” drug tested following impressive performances, which makes Bol’s test a funny coincidence.
Bol earned the start in the Nuggets’ first scrimmage game ahead of the season restart. He tallied 16 points, 10 rebounds and six blocked shots during the 89-82 victory over the Washington Wizards and finished by shooting 6-of-14 from the field, including 2-of-8 from 3-point range.

Bol, who is signed to a two-way contract, has not yet played in an official game with the Nuggets this season but has been practicing with the team ahead of the season restart. He has looked sharp in practice and has shown no signs of any lingering injury issues with his foot.
