The NBA has suspended Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George for 25 games for violating the league's anti-drug policy, effective immediately. George attributed the infraction to taking improper medication while addressing a mental health issue and expressed full responsibility in a statement. The suspension will sideline the nine-time All-Star until late March, testing the 76ers' playoff push.
Nag-suspend ang NBA ng 25 na laro sa Philadelphia 76ers forward na si Paul George noong Sabado dahil sa paglabag sa anti-drug policy ng liga, isang linggo bago ang trade deadline. Si George, na umako ng responsibilidad sa isang pahayag na nagbanggit ng mental health treatment, ay mami-miss ang mga laro na nagsisimula laban sa New Orleans at babalik noong Marso 25. Ang suspension ay nagagambala sa momentum ng koponan habang nasa ika-anim sila sa Eastern Conference.
