The 76ers superstar Paul George has an interesting suggestion when he was asked for a word to Joel Embiid amid his injury struggle.

Paul George provided a hilariously blunt response when asked about Joel Embiid’s ongoing injury struggles, offering just two words:  "Drugs helped." While the comment initially raised eyebrows, it became clear that George was referring to prescribed medication and treatment rather than anything more controversial.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George missed five games after suffering an injury to the extensor tendon in his left pinky finger on Jan. 25. Since returning to the lineup on Feb. 5, George has been playing with a splint on that finger.
