#NEBHInjuryReport An MRI conducted today on guard Payton Pritchard revealed a Grade I sprain of his right MCL. Pritchard is expected to return to on-court activities in approximately two weeks.
Payton Pritchard injured his right knee a couple minutes after entering Friday night's game. The team could have used him as they went on to blow that game. Pritchard will be missed for the next two plus weeks, but it could have been worse. At least it's only a Grade 1 sprain. In Pritchard's absence, Jeff Teague will get more playing time and you'll see more of Marcus Smart at the point, especially if Kemba Walker sits out for a maintenance game.
