\n Paul George was battling more than just the Mavericks during his early playoff woes.<\/p>\n

The Clippers star struggled mightily in Game<\/a>s 2-4 and revealed Tuesday night he was dealing with anxiety and depression while being confined to the NBA\u2019s bubble.<\/p>\n

But George came back with a force Tuesday, getting his mind in a better spot and dropping 35 points in a Game 5 win over the Mavericks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever it was, the bubble got the best of me,\u201d George said an a TNT interview after the game. \u201cI was just in a dark place. I really wasn\u2019t here, I checked out. These past couple games, it was just difficult. Shout out to the people that stood behind me, that were in my corner. The positivity, my teammates, my family, friends, everybody. Thank you to everybody who reached out to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just in a bad place. I found my way, I\u2019m back and I look forward to the rest of this run.\u201d<\/p>\n

After scoring 27 points on 10-of-22 shooting in the series<\/a> opener, George entered into a funk over the next three games. He shot just 10-for-47 from the field, averaging 11.3 points per game as the Mavericks evened up the series 2-2 and George took plenty of heat for his disapp<\/a>ointing performances.<\/p>\n

But George bounced back in Game 5, shooting 12-for-18 and then opening up about the mental challenges of playing in the NBA\u2019s isolated environment that was necessitated by the pandemic. He said talks with the Clippers\u2019 team psychiatrist and others close to him helped get him in a better head space.<\/p>\n

\u201cI underestimated mental health, honestly,\u201d George told reporters. \u201cI had anxiety. A little bit of depression. Just being locked in here. I just wasn\u2019t there. I checked out.<\/p>\n

\u201cGames 2, 3, 4, I wasn\u2019t there. I felt like I wasn\u2019t there. Shout-out to the people that were in my corner, that gave me words. They helped big time, help get me right, [get] me back in great spirits. I can\u2019t thank them enough.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
