76ers' Paul George blamed mental health for banned substance use
"To let people down hurt more than kind of anything. The most difficult thing is when your body isn't where you know it needs to be or where it once was."
"George's choice to take a banned substance was connected to a mental health issue that developed because of an offseason knee injury that limited his production this season."
"I feel good, my body is feeling great. Mentally, I know I'm capable of doing what I can do and what I've been able to on the court for years."
Paul George is set to return to the Philadelphia 76ers after a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA's anti-drug program. He expressed regret for his actions, linking his choice to a mental health issue stemming from a knee injury. The 76ers have struggled without him and Joel Embiid, holding a 39-33 record. George has averaged 16 points this season, with a standout performance of 32 points in a game before his suspension. He signed a significant contract but faced challenges due to injuries.
