that Payton’s illness kept him from practicing Wednesday and that he hadn’t seen the player Thursday prior to his pregame presser. The other players listed as questionable for Game 3, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins, are going to play, Kerr said.
Payton joins Draymond Green as another defensive-oriented player who will miss Thursday’s game of this first-round series. Green was suspended late Tuesday after the NBA reviewed his ejection-worthy stomp on Kings forward Domantas Sabonis, who had grabbed onto the Dubs player’s ankle during a fast break.

Payton put up 8 points, four rebounds and two steals in Game 1, as well as 13 points, six rebounds and two steals in Game 2.
The Warriors are down 2-0 in the best-of-seven series against a team that had the best offense in the league andThis is a developing story and will be updated.
