Gary Payton II of Golden State Warriors Questionable Due to Right Shoulder Strain in NBA Playoffs

Gary Payton II is questionable for the game against the Houston Rockets on April 26, 2025, due to a right shoulder strain. This is not his first injury this season, as he previously dealt with knee inflammation and a torn thumb ligament.

In the regular season, Payton played 61 games, averaging 6.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. If he is unable to play, players like Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski could see changes in their roles or minutes.
