Elfrid Payton (ankle, questionable) not expected to play for Pelicans Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton (right ankle sprain) is questionable to play on Thursday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Payton has been sidelined since January 26 and Pelicans head coach Alvin Gentry previously said he will likely be held out until after the All-Star break. Tim Frazier and Frank Jackson should continue to benefit.
