Elfrid Payton (hamstring) doubtful to play for Knicks Thursday
New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton is listed as doubtful to play Thursday in the team's game against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Payton is dealing with a hamstring injury, and he's now set to miss his first game of the season. Should that happen as expected, rookie Immanuel Quickley could be in line to receive his first career start - unless the Knicks opt to start veteran Derrick Rose. Keep an eye on his status over the next 24 hours.
In 32 games this season, Payton has averaged 12.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 22.9 FanDuel points.
