Gary Payton II (Calf) To Miss Several Weeks

When Gary Payton II went down to the court with the non-contact injury, not many people were optimistic he would return to the Golden State Warriors’ eventual loss to the Sacramento Kings. However, not many people thought it was going to be this severe.

According to Kendra Andrews of ESPN, Payton is expected to miss the next several weeks due to a torn right calf.
