Last summer, about a month after the Orlando Magic traded for him on draft night, Elfrid Payton served as a guest instructor at an afternoon basketball camp for children in Orlando.
“Anytime I can help, it’s great,” Payton said that day.
What sounded like a cliché is something that Payton actually believes.
This Sunday, Payton will host a free basketball clinic for 150 children in Westwego, La., near where he grew up.
From July 27-29, he’ll also host a basketball camp at RDV Sportsplex in Orlando.
The events are part of a busy offseason for the 21-year-old Magic point guard.
