Gary Payton II Not On The Injury Report

Gary Payton II

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II isn’t listed on the injury report ahead of Game 4 of the NBA Finals versus the Boston Celtics. He injured his elbow during the Western Conference Semis against the Grizzlies and recently returned for Game 1 of this series, although he has been riding a questionable tag. Still, the defensive specialist didn’t play in the opener, and after receiving 25 minutes in Game 2, he got just 11 minutes of action on Wednesday night, with Otto Porter Jr. (foot) and Jordan Poole getting most of the work from off the bench. Head coach Steve Kerr has been known to tweak his rotation. But that doesn’t mean Payton should be utilized by DFS participants, especially since his offensive upside is severely limited.
