Payton underwent X-rays on his left elbow, and the Warriors ruled him out. After the game, they said he suffered a fractured left elbow.
He will undergo an MRI on Wednesday for further evaluation of the injury. per ESPN
Still don’t understand why players choose not to wear sleeves with padding for their knees/ elbows as well as ankle braces..
That wouldn't have helped him at all though, right? He landed on his wrist with his elbow completely stiff, arm straight down.
And don't they? Pretty sure most players have padding on sleeves and stuff?
Couldn’t really see the landing too well, but he definitely didn’t have sleeves with padding on either arm.
Just looking at the Celtics players in last nights game, Tatum has one leg sleeve, no arms. Al has leg sleeves, and one arm, as does Rob and JB. White and Grant had leg sleeves, nothing on their arms. Pritchard doesn’t wear sleeves at all. I don’t recall seeing any C’s players wearing ankle braces. Can’t think of anyone in the NBA that wears ankle braces regularly other than Steph Curry.
