GARY PAYTON II NEWS

Logs 30 minutes off bench Payton chipped in 14 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 121-110 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Payton came off the bench again Friday but logged at least 27 minutes for the second consecutive game. With Stephen Curry (foot) out for the foreseeable future, Payton has a nice opportunity to finish the regular season strongly. If his playing time sticks in this range, he is certainly worth a look in standard leagues, especially for anyone in need of steals.

Absent from injury report Payton (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against Orlando.

Impact Payton hasn't taken the court since March 3 due to a knee issue, but he appears in line for a return Tuesday. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Warriors monitor his minutes closely following an eight-game absence.

Ruled out Sunday Payton (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Payton was reportedly targeting Sunday's matchup as a potential return date, but he'll be sidelined for an eighth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a left knee injury. His next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against Orlando, while he could see a slightly increased role once he's back in action since Stephen Curry (foot) is expected to miss at least two weeks.

Questionable for Sunday's contest Payton (knee) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Spurs, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Payton hasn't played since March 3 due to a left knee issue, but previous reports suggested he was targeting Sunday as a potential return date. With Stephen Curry (foot) expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks, Payton could garner an increased role when he does eventually make his return, though he likely won't do much offensively to compensate for the loss of the former MVP.

Expecting to return Sunday Payton (knee) is targeting Sunday's game against the Spurs to return from his seven-game absence, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Payton hasn't played since March 3 due to a left knee issue, but he's made progress in recent days and is on track to return Sunday. Payton won't do much offensively to compensate for the loss of Stephen Curry (foot), but the former Oregon State standout is one of the best defensive guards in the NBA.

Ruled out Monday Payton (knee) is listed as out for Monday's game at Denver.

Impact Payton also missed Saturday's game against the Lakers, and he likely won't travel with the team for Monday's contest, which falls on the front end of a road/home back-to-back. The Warriors will also hold out Stephen Curry (hand), Klay Thompson (rest) and Andrew Wiggins (foot) in what appears to be somewhat of a protest by coach Steve Kerr for the timing of Monday's contest, which is a make-up game from earlier in the season. Regardless, Payton should be considered day-to-day and questionable for Tuesday's home matchup against the Clippers.

MARCH 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Saturday Payton has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers due to left knee soreness.

Impact Payton started each of the last five matchups and averaged 11.0 points and 2.6 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per game during that time. Jordan Poole, Damion Lee and Moses Moody should see increased run Saturday.

Positive production in loss Payton amassed 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and three steals over 27 minutes during Sunday's 107-101 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Payton was one of the very few positives to come out of Sunday's game, delivering a solid two-way performance. His season has been built on his ability to rack up steals, something he was able to do yet again Sunday. The offense has been far more sporadic but with Klay Thompson sidelined, Payton took it upon himself to shoulder more of the scoring load. Based on what we have seen thus far this season, he should be viewed as a streaming specialist in competitive leagues.
