Philadelphia 76ers veteran Paul George has revealed that he is pushing through an injury to finish the season, confirming recent reports that he has been receiving painkilling injections to stay on the court.
Despite his struggles, George remains committed to giving his team everything he has as they continue their playoff push.
“I’m hanging in there,” George said following the Sixers’ home loss to the Boston Celtics.
