Barkley questions NBA's 'fishy' Paul George suspension

Charles Barkley called Paul George’s 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug program “fishy,” suggesting a mental health treatment could merit a hall pass. George acknowledged taking an improper medication during treatment and took responsibility. The 76ers sit 27-21 and sixth in the East, benefiting from George’s production alongside rookie VJ Edgecombe, Joel Embiid’s improved health, and Tyrese Maxey’s play while George is sidelined.

Sixers Rework Deadline Strategy as Paul George Receives 25-Game Suspension

Paul George’s 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s PED policy upends the Sixers’ deadline plans, since he won’t be available until late March and his hefty contract complicates trades. George has been Philadelphia’s top wing defender and a key secondary scorer, so the team now faces replacing a major rotation piece and deciding whether to pursue wings on the market or lean on Embiid, Maxey and remaining depth as they vie to stay in the East playoff picture (they sit 26-21 in sixth) with a tough West Coast stretch and the All-Star break ahead. The move also yields luxury-tax relief, but doesn’t address the on-court issue.
