On May 6, Beijing time, Grizzlies player Dillon Brooks was additionally banned for fouling Payton Jr., and he will not be able to participate in G3 games. Considering that Payton Jr. will be absent for at least a month due to injury, many fans and the media believe that the penalty decision is too light, but Grizzlies reporter Mark Giannotto is dissatisfied with Dillon's ban decision, believing that the league has doubled the standard. His remarks are too black.
Mark Giannotto complained on social media: "Dream chasing was not banned because Brandon Clark was better at landing (than Payton Jr.). In other words, he felt that Payton Jr. was not good at landing, which led to Dillon being banned. Earlier, Mark Giannotto also supported another Grizzlies reporter, Rob Fischer, who asked the league to ban Poule's application, because Poole left the bench to check on his teammates' injuries when Payton was injured.
However, according to the NBA's rulebook, substitute players are not allowed to leave the bench when there is an altercation on the court. The scene where Payton is injured is obviously not in line with this rule, so Poole cannot be banned.
The remarks of the Grizzlies reporter have caused dissatisfaction among many fans, after all, Payton Jr.'s injury is not light, and he will be absent for 4 weeks. And at this time, it is obviously meaningless to compare who is better at landing. Let us wish Little Peyton a speedy recovery.
The G3 battle between the Warriors and the Grizzlies will start on May 8, Beijing time. The Warriors scheduled team training and video lessons today, and Payton Jr. watched the team's training behind the door without revealing his injured elbow. Cole revealed that Payton has a huge brace on his arm and is expected to be absent for a long time. 'He's frustrated, he's been working hard in the league for six years, he's playing a big role in the team at the moment, he's playing well but it's all taken away and we all feel sorry for Gary (Payton)." Cole said.
