The Western Conference semifinals between the Grizzlies and Warriors are arguably the most intense series at the moment, and the league has officially announced a suspension penalty for assists in game three due to a malicious foul on Warriors player Gary Payton II:
The Warriors have already been pulled back to a 1-1 draw by the Grizzlies in this series, although the Warriors still have a chance to win the next home game.
As for gary Payton II, who suffered an elbow fracture in the last game, the specific injury situation has been updated, according to the US media Shams Charania, Gary Payton II needs to miss 3 to 5 weeks due to an elbow fracture, but he has not ruled out the possibility of returning to the final series:
According to this comeback schedule, if the Warriors can successfully break into the Western Conference Finals, Payton may still return to the field during the Western Conference Finals series. Considering that the Warriors need Payton to limit Morant's play on the court, his injury is still a very important issue for the Warriors.
Finally, Warriors tough guy Draymond Green was fined $25,000 for making an inappropriate move against fans in game two of the Grizzlies series:
Due to being elbowed by Xavier Tillman in the first quarter and bleeding, Green also had to return to the locker room to deal with the injury, and Green's actions against the fans in the process also caused heated discussion:
But Green said he felt very good about doing so and would accept a fine.
