The NBA has suspended Philadelphia 76ers power forward Paul George<\/strong><\/a> for 25 games for violating the league’s anti-drug program, the NBA announced Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

His suspension begins immediately and will bench him for Saturday\u2019s game against the New Orleans Pelicans.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

George said the situation is a big mix-up in a statement to ESPN<\/strong><\/a>, but is taking full responsibility for the error. He explained … “Over the past few years, I\u2019ve discussed the importance of mental health, and in the course of recently seeking treatment for an issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking an improper medication.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

He also apologized to the 76ers ownership, his team, and fans for his “poor decision making,” adding … “I am focused on using this time to make sure that my mind and body are in the best condition to help the team when I return.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

George joined the 76ers in July 2024 with a lucrative 4-year $212 million maximum contract as a free agent. He was previously with the Los Angeles Clippers.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
