The player was ejected from the game for hitting Gary Payton II in the head with a layup. There is a delay of 0:45.
It seems unlikely, but Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II might be able to return during the Western Conference finals, according to coach Steve Kerr.
It would be a long shot for him to play in the conference finals.
In the second game of the Western Conference semifinals, Payton fractured his left elbow when he was hit in the head with a fast-break dunk attempt.
It was estimated that he would miss one month.
After being ejected from the game for a foul, he was suspended from the next game for the play. Kerr said that the foul was not well-received by the Grizzlies, who said that the player was not a dirty player.
The two men have spoken since the incident and have cleared the air.
"It's all good," he said. I know he didn't mean it. No bad feelings, no bad blood.
That is about the NBA playoff foul. It is what it is. It happened. Things happened when I didn't catch myself. It is past me. It is behind me. I'm just trying to strengthen my arm and get back to help my team.
At first, he thought he had hurt his elbow. He did not know it was a broken bone until he underwent an exam.
He has not been able to return to doing upper-body workouts because he is left-handed. He mainly works on conditioning and lower-body strengthening.
He will not play in the first game of the series, but he is able to do a lot of things on the court. It takes a long time to recover from a knee or foot injury.
All in all, Gary is doing well, but we don't know his availability. He is able to maintain his conditioning and do some things on the court.
Time is what he needs to get back on the court.
It will take time, but I am getting better every day. Take it one day at a time.
