Golden State's Gary Payton II (elbow) out at least 3-to-5 weeks
Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) is expected to miss three-to-four weeks.
What It Means:
Per Charania, Payton II has not ruled out a potential return if the Warriors were to make the NBA Finals. Expect Jordan Poole to log more minutes at the guard positions in round two's series against a Memphis unit allowing a 105.9 defensive rating.
Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ on 1678.2 minutes this regular season with Payton II off the floor, Poole is averaging 0.95 FanDuel points per minute and a 24.9% usage rate.
