US EditionGary Payton II out for Warriors’ Game 7 against Rockets with illness
- Gary Payton II will not play in the Warriors’ Game 7 against the Rockets on Sunday night in Houston due to illness.
- Payton woke up sick, skipped shootaround, and has not eaten, forcing coach Steve Kerr to revise rotations for this critical game.
- Payton, the Warriors' leading defensive guard who typically contributes around six and a half points and just under one steal each game in the regular season, started Game 6 but struggled as the Rockets secured a 115-107 victory.
- Kerr said Jonathan Kuminga, who impressed defensively in Game 3, and Moses Moody could see more minutes to fill Payton’s role.
- Payton’s absence weakens the Warriors’ defense as they face elimination after losing a 3-1 series lead and must win to advance to Minneapolis.
