Warriors' Gary Payton II returns after mysteriously checking out mid-possession

After abruptly rushing off the court early on in Game 4 of Warriors-Lakers, Dubs guard Gary Payton II was able to check back in, and appeared to be okay.

With 6:29 left in the first quarter, and while Golden State was on defense, the 30-year-old Payton walked over the the Dubs bench and started signaling to his coaches that he needed to come out of the game.

As the Warriors got the rebound off a LeBron James miss, Payton headed towards the bench. Unfortunately, the rest of the team didn't get the message that Payton was coming off, and Draymond Green ended up making a pass to the Lakers bench while trying to swing the ball around.
