According to Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, Warriors guard Gary Payton II suffered slight ligament damage along with a fractured left elbow. He will miss at least three weeks and has not ruled out a return in the NBA Finals. (Anthony Slater)
Fantasy Impact:
After taking a massive fall due to being tackled by Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks, Payton was taken off the floor and later MRIs confirmed that he suffered an elbow fracture along with ligament damage. He will be out for the remainder of the Conference finals and could miss time in the NBA finals if the Warriors make it that far. With the veteran out of the lineup, expect Jonathan Kuminga and Andre Iguodala to see an increase in their minutes.
