Elfrid Payton Injures Ankle In Loss
6 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton rolled his ankle and did not return while his club lost to the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Payton first went to the locker room in the first quarter after slipping while guarding Ricky Rubio but later returned to the court in the second quarter. He then exited the game again and did not return this time as it was later stated Payton suffered an ankle sprain. The good is that he did try playing on it, meaning it most likely is not too severe. If he does miss time we should see Jrue Holiday's usage increase and Ian Clark getting some extra run.
