The NBA announced that Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has been suspended for 25 games for violating the NBA’s anti-drug program.
The nine-time NBA star, who averaged 20.5 points during his 16-year career in the league, said he accidentally took an “inappropriate” medication.
“Over the past few years, I have discussed the importance of mental health, and while recently seeking treatment for a problem of my own, I made the mistake of taking an inappropriate medication,” George, 35, said in a statement to ESPN.
“I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to the Sixers organization, my teammates and the Philadelphia fans for my poor decision-making during this process.
“I’m focused on using this time to make sure my mind and body are in the best shape to help the team when I return.”
The NBA said George will be suspended without pay for the duration of his suspension. He’s not eligible to return until the 76ers play the Chicago Bulls on March 25 — when there will only be 10 games remaining of the regular season.
