Gary Payton II, who suffered a fractured elbow during Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals on a scary fall after getting fouled by Grizzlies wing Dillon Brooks, is expected to return in the NBA Finals, according to a report.
"For the record: There’s no bad blood between me and Dillon," Payton wrote in an article published bylast week."After we closed out Game 6, I got word that he wanted to talk outside the locker room, and when I got there he apologized. I give Dillon a lot of credit for that -- no text, no social media, nothing indirect.
He came in person, and we talked like grown men. He told me he didn’t mean to hurt me.Payton is the Warriors' best perimeter defender, so getting him back would be massive as the Warriors try to defend the Boston Celtics' Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown or the Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler, depending on who the Dubs face in the Finals.
