Paul George PED Suspension EXPLAINED — How the 76ers Actually BENEFIT 🤯 #76ers #shorts #PaulGeorge

Paul George just got suspended 25 games by the NBA for violating the league’s anti-drug program. After shooting 22% from three for 6 straight games, PG suddenly exploded for 32 points and 9 threes against the Bucks — and immediately got drug tested.

The financial impact is INSANE: George loses nearly $12 million in salary, while the 76ers receive a $5.8 million luxury tax credit that drops them from $7M over the tax to just $1.3M over. This could completely change Philadelphia’s trade deadline strategy with Feb 5th approaching.

George claims he was taking medication for mental health issues and accidentally took the wrong one. He’s eligible to return March 25th vs the Bulls with 10 games left in the regular season.

The 76ers are 26-21 and 6th in the East — 16-11 with PG, 10-10 without him. Can Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe hold it down?
