Listed as probable Payton is probable for Sunday's matchup against Dallas due to right adductor soreness.
Impact Payton appears to have cleared the ankle issue that caused him to be a regular on the injury report, as he's now being listed with a hip issue. However, neither injury appears to be all that significant, as the defensive-minded forward is likely to suit up for a fourth straight game. Over his previous three games, he's averaged 4.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.3 assists in 17.0 minutes per game.

Logs 15 minutes in return Tuesday Payton racked up two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 109-106 loss to the Magic.
Impact Payton returned after a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, logging 15 minutes in the loss. While he was far from impressive, he did manage one steal, something he will need to do more of should he hope to crack the standard league discussion. His role is unlikely to garner significant minutes, meaning managers should view him as a potential steals streamer only, though not just yet.

Good to go Tuesday Coach Chauncey Billups said Payton (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Magic, Aaron J. Fentress of The Oregonian reports.
Impact Patyon was probable after he missed the past three games with ankle discomfort, and he'll return to action versus Orlando. The 30-year-old suffered the injury during his season debut Jan. 3 after he recovered from offseason core-muscle surgery, so Tuesday will mark only his second appearance of the season.
