Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill wasn't on the court for the national anthem before Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. However, the veteran guard had an extremely relatable (and a-political) reason for his absence that involves his own pre-game tradition, per ESPN's Marc J. Spears.

“You want the honest truth? Ok. I take a sh*t every time before the game,” George answered when asked about his whereabouts in the final question on his post-game press conference.

According to Hill, the pre-game bathroom run has been part of his routine for a while.

On Wednesday, Hill's pre-game activity was newsworthy for very, very different reasons. He led the Bucks' spur-of-the-moment decision not to play in the team's scheduled Game 5 contest against Orlando.

After flushing out the Magic from the postseason with their Game 5 victory, George Hill and the Bucks are moving on to the Eastern Conference Semifinals against a feisty Miami Heat squad.
