The Charlotte Hornets' season is over - and so is Malik Monk's indefinite suspension for violating the league's anti-drug program.

"That's been a while now," Hornets general manager Mitch Kupchak confirmed in a conference call Monday, according to the Charlotte Observer's Rick Bonnell. "He went through his program, and my understanding was he was reinstated as soon as possible. He has been in our facility and participated in all team activities."

The league announced Monk's suspension in late February without disclosing the exact nature of the 22-year-old's offense.

The third-year shooting guard had been enjoying a career year. In 21.3 minutes per outing, Monk averaged 10.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists.
