New York Knicks PG Elfrid Payton rushes to game after daughter’s birth

The New York Knicks may have lost to the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, but Elfrid Payton still comes out on top at the end of the day. The veteran point guard arrived in Talking Stick Resort Arena just shortly before game time due to the birth of his daughter.

The Knicks were willing to let Payton take time off if need be, but the point guard wanted to be with his teammates to try and extend their three-game winning streak. Unfortunately, Payton and the Knicks dropped the game after allowing Devin Booker to explode for 38 points and seven assists.
