5 years agoNew York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton is slated to miss Sunday’s game against the Sacramento Kings due to a strained right hamstring. The injury has now forced Payton to the sidelines for three consecutive outings, paving the way for RJ Barrett to continue seeing the lion’s share of duties at the point guard slot, with Frank Ntilikina pitching in on occasion. Payton has been off to a rocky start in 2019-20, shooting just 37.9 percent through his first four contests. His minutes are likely to be contested no matter when he returns, with his next opportunity coming Wednesday against Detroit.--Jesse Borek
