On May 4, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs Grizzlies defeated the Warriors 106-101 to draw the big score to 1-1. However, in this game, Grizzlies dillon Brooks seriously injured Payton Jr. with dirty foul moves at the beginning, which still triggered the condemnation of many fans. According to the latest news, Little Peyton suffered a fracture of his left elbow! And once the elbow is broken, Payton will undoubtedly be suspended for at least 3 months, and the season will be reimbursed.
The injury of the bone and bone is 100 days, and the fracture generally requires about 2-3 months of recuperation. As a key part, the elbow fracture is different from the finger fracture, and it is impossible to insist on it. It can be said that This action of Dillon Brooks has constituted the standard of additional suspension, which is worse than the action of Bucks Aaron injuring Caruso this season.
In the playoffs this season, many players have suffered injuries. For example, Embiid of Philadelphia, Lowry of the Heat, middleton of the Bucks have not returned from injuries so far, and players such as Booker, VanVleet and Butler have also suffered different degrees of injuries. But none of them were injured because of malicious fouls on their opponents. From this point of view, Dillon Brooks is difficult to convince the public without additional penalties.
In addition to Payton Jr.'s serious injury, Green's face also suffered an elbow blow, and at one point he left the field for stitches. After the game, Warriors coach Kerr said: Green's eyes are almost swollen and can't be opened, which is very difficult for him. Of course, Green was elbowed, and the Grizzlies players were inadvertently mistaken, not comparable to Dillon's malicious fouls.
For the Warriors, they're in a tough situation right now. Previously, Iguodala had missed many games due to injury. Now, the team's other defensive big man, Payton Jr., is also likely to be reimbursed for the season. This also directly led to Morant in this game into the no-man's land, bombarding 47 points, 8 boards and 8 assists. Next, the Warriors need new Raiders to step up and limit Morant.
