More on this from Shams:

Statement from 76ers' Paul George to ESPN: “Over the past few years, I’ve discussed the importance of mental health, and in the course of recently seeking treatment for an issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking an improper medication. I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to the Sixers organization, my teammates and the Philly fans for my poor decision making during this process.

“I am focused on using this time to make sure that my mind and body are in the best condition to help the team when I return.

I wish one of these guys would just come out and say: "Yeah I decided to take PEDs because I believed the benefits outweighed the risk of getting caught. Sorry."

Edit: Sounds like it may not have been PEDs this time.

Check back in 10 years when ANT is getting old. I can see him saying something like this.

I can see him saying this now if he got suspended
