Gary Payton II Out Indefinitely for Warriors with Calf Injury
Gary Payton II is dealing with a calf injury and will not be playing for the Golden State Warriors. The injury has left him out of action, and there is no clear timeline for his return. This setback comes after previous issues with his knee earlier this month.
What It Means
This injury means Gary Payton II will miss time on the court, affecting his role as a backup point guard. His absence could impact the Warriors’ depth, especially in rebounding where he has excelled at times. He ranks second among point guards on the team, averaging 4.7 points per game.
With Payton II sidelined, Stephen Curry will continue to lead at point guard. Lindy Waters III may see more playing time as well. The Warriors will need to adjust their lineup to fill the gap left by Payton II’s injury.
