Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
No Dillon Brooks for sure hurts Memphis’ depth if guards get in foul trouble but he hasn’t played great for them and they clearly didn’t need him to win in Game 2.
GPII is a much bigger loss for GSW. – 3:01 PM

More on this storyline

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II is expected to miss approximately a month with a fractured left elbow, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday. The possibility that Payton could return for the NBA Finals remains, but only if the Warriors advance in the playoffs. Payton was injured when Dillon Brooks of the Memphis Grizzlies chased him down from behind on a fast-break layup and hit the Warriors guard in the head in the air with 9:08 left in the first quarter of Game 2 on Tuesday. Payton went down hard and remained on the court for several minutes. After officials reviewed the play, Brooks was ejected. -via ESPN / May 5, 2022
Chris Haynes: Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II will be sidelined 3-to-5 weeks with an elbow fracture, league sources tell @YahooSports, @NBAonTNT. -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / May 4, 2022
