On May 4, Beijing time, 106-101, relying on Morant's god battle, the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors with difficulty, and the big score was 1-1 draw. The game can be described as tragic, and the Warriors also lost defense Morant's number one sharpshooter, Payton Jr., who suffered a fractured left elbow.
Less than three minutes into the game, Payton Jr. was injured when he quickly made a layup and was fouled by Brooks, who was chasing him, who headed down Peyton Jr. Little Payton, who had fallen to the ground, covered his left elbow, rather in pain.
Subsequently, Payton Jr. was sent back to the dressing room for examination and he also withdrew from the game. Unfortunately, Payton Jr. suffered a fracture of his left elbow and will undergo an MRI tomorrow to further determine the injury.
Brooks also caused a lot of controversy, but after the Grizzlies won, Brooks was quite excited, hugging Morant in the players' tunnel to celebrate, brooks also said to Morant, "It's going to be a fight." ”
However, Brooks is afraid that he will be punished by the league, and The famous Woj reported that the NBA will make a decision on whether to punish him further.
It is worth mentioning that the two managers also staged a war of words after the game, and Kerr continued to angrily spew Brooks after the game, "I don't know if he meant it, but this action is very dirty." His movements were out of bounds. Jenkins responded, "I believe the referee's decision. ”
However, Curry also complained after the game, "When a player finishes the layup, the defender can only use the outrageous description to make this move." In that case, all the bad things that could have happened happened, and Dillon got Payton out of the game. Warriors star Mullin said, "Dillon is completely out of bounds, if it is playing wild ball, then the two sides have already done it." It's dirty, no doubt. I think he'll be banned. ”
As for Payton Jr.'s injury, medical expert Evan Jeffries said he was afraid he would be out for at least 4 weeks.
