Paul George said that the Los Angeles Clippers became closer as a team since players boycotted games on Wednesday.

"We had to spend two days of talking and having uncomfortable conversations. You know, you got to see different guys' points of view and different guys' interests, and there was just a lot laid out on the table that the whole team kind of talked about. We definitely got closer," said George.

The Clippers and Lakers both reportedly voted to not continue the season during a meeting on Wednesday, before ultimately deciding to finish the playoffs the following day.

Doc Rivers said that the entire league has grown closer since the boycott.

"I think every team is closer because of the last 48 hours. But I think what really is closer is just the players in general as a group ... when you see guys in the room that are talking that probably don't know each other ... I mean, there's some smart young players in this league," said Rivers.  

George added that admitting he had been suffering through anxiety and depression in the bubble also helped create a bond between him and his peers.

"You know, whether I was the first to say it [inside the bubble] or not, we're all dealing with it. I've had conversations with guys here, and there's been a couple guys that is like, man, I'm happy I'm not the only one. I've been dealing with this, too. It's a thing in here. It's a brotherhood."
