An MRI on Warriors guard Gary Payton II revealed ligament damage to go along with his fractured left elbow, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports. Payton reportedly is expected to miss three weeks, and he still has a chance to play in the NBA Finals if Golden State makes it that far.
Payton suffered the injury on Tuesday night when Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks fouled him hard in transition, causing Payton to land on his elbow. Brooks was given a Flagrant Two foul and ejected from the game.
