Joel Embiid had 40 points and 1 rebounds to help the Philadelphia 76ers win hours after Paul George was suspended 25 games for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy, 124-114 over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night. The NBA did not disclose the nature of the violation or the substance that was involved, and George released a statement to ESPN saying he took something that was “improper.” Without George, the 76ers couldn't shake the 13-win Pelicans until the final minutes.
