Paul George suspended 25 games for NBA anti-drug policy violation
Paul George, a star player for the Philadelphia 76ers, has been suspended for 25 games.
This is because he broke the NBA's rules against using certain drugs.
The league didn't say which drug or what exactly happened.
George will miss important games for his team, but he can come back on March 25.
After that, there are only 10 more regular season games left.
The suspension is for a first-time offense, which usually means a 25-game ban.
This is a big deal because George is a leader on his team, and they will have to play without him for a while.
Paul George suspended 25 games for violating NBA's anti-drug policy.
Suspension begins immediately, ruling him out of the next 25 games.
George will return on March 25 when the 76ers host the Chicago Bulls.
Only 10 regular-season games remain after his return.
The NBA did not disclose specifics about the violation or substance involved.
