Fighters Gary Payton II was injured as the Warriors, led by Stephen Curry, lost to the Kings in the NBA In-Season Tournament.The Golden State Warriors’ loss to the Sacramento Kings in the NBA In-Season Tournament was just the result of bad luck. Leading the way were Andrew Wiggins and Stephen Curry, which allowed Moses Moody to reach his full potential. However, Steve Kerr’s team will be dealing more than just a physical punch on the court. If the results of a medical procedure verify Gary Payton II’s status, he will most likely miss time with the squad.
After playing for the Warriors for seventeen minutes, Gary Payton II was obviously in discomfort. He fell and was unable to get back up in time to stop Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox, the King’s backcourt. He will now have an MRI on his right calf to rule out any serious injury, according to Marc J. Spears of ESPN.
While he continued to have an impact on the loss, Warriors supporters would have preferred to see more of him. Even with the limited time that fate gave him, he recorded seven points and an assist. In addition, he picked up five more boards to complete his early departure.

Even so, the Warriors were able to close the distance. However, they were simply destined to lose in the NBA In-Season Tournament. Nevertheless, Andrew Wiggins produced a double-double with 29 points and 10 rebounds. In addition to his 29 points, Stephen Curry was also clearing the glass. He pulled down 10 rebounds.
In general, individuals such as Moses Moody will step up, but the absence of Payton might have a significant impact on the Warriors’ perimeter defense.
