Gary Payton II is expected to return for the NBA Finals after being out since Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Payton suffered a fractured elbow on a breakaway when fouled by Dillon Brooks, who was assessed a Flagrant 2 and also received a one-game suspension.

Payton has been a rotation player for the Warriors this season and one of the league's best point of attack defenders. Payton will be a free agent this offseason.
