Until 2021, Elfrid Payton still managed to play his 30 minutes per game, often as a starter, in Orlando as in New York, and score his 10 points on average. But for two years, the playmaker has struggled to find his place in the NBA.
In 2021/22, due to competition, he played very little in Phoenix and last season, he did not play in the NBA at all, even signing in the G-League with the Mad Ants.
To revive himself and breathe new life into his career, Elfrid Payton spent workouts in front of the Wolves and the Hornets, specifies HoopsHype.
As a reminder, he is only 29 years old and 500 matches under his belt and, if he is in good physical shape after a season away from the league, he can undoubtedly still provide services in short sequences coming off the bench .
