Payne (elbow) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports. Payne missed the Knicks' last two games due to a left elbow effusion, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to play Monday and will serve as the primary backup at point guard behind Jalen Brunson. Across his 10 outings prior to the injury, Payne averaged 9.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds over 20.0 minutes per game.

Cameron Payne Latest News
Will play vs. Toronto
Payne (elbow) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports. Payne missed the Knicks' last two games due to a left elbow effusion, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to play Monday and will serve as the primary backup at point guard behind Jalen Brunson. Across his 10 outings prior to the injury, Payne averaged 9.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds over 20.0 minutes per game.
Deemed questionable for Monday
Payne (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game against Toronto, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Payne is in danger of missing a third consecutive matchup due to a left elbow effusion. If the veteran guard is sidelined, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time off the bench.
Won't play Saturday vs. Pistons
Payne (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Detroit, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports. Payne is dealing with left elbow effusion, and it's serious enough for him to be sidelined Saturday. Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride are slated to see more minutes off the bench due to Payne's absence. Payne's next chance to play will be Monday against the Raptors.
Questionable for Saturday
Payne (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons. The floor general was held out of Thursday's game against the Hornets and was initially listed as day-to-day, so it's not surprising to see him getting a questionable tag. Even if he's deemed available, Payne isn't expected to have a lot of fantasy upside. He's averaging just 8.2 points, 3.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game this season.
Considered day-to-day
Payne (elbow), who was held out of Thursday's game against the Hornets, is being labeled as day-to-day, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports. Head coach Tom Thibodeau stated after the game that the team will see how Payne feels Friday morning, but it sounds like he'll have a chance to play in Saturday's matchup against Detroit if all goes well over the next few days. Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek would continue to benefit from a playing time standpoint until Payne gets the green light to return.
Won't play Thursday
Payne (elbow) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup versus the Hornets, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Payne will miss Thursday's game due to left elbow inflammation. With the veteran guard sidelined, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time off the bench.
Dealing with an elbow effusion
Payne is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte due to a left elbow effusion. Payne is dealing with the buildup of fluids in his elbow joint, putting his status in jeopardy for Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old has appeared in 12 consecutive contests and is raining in 49.1 percent of 4.4 threes per game over that span, so his elbow has yet to cause performance-related issues
Adds 11 points off bench
Payne logged 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-106 loss to the Jazz. Payne led the New York bench in scoring and did so with a strong showing from beyond the arc. He's enjoyed an expanded role for this Knicks team of late due to the absence of Miles McBride (knee), as he's averaged 26.7 minutes over his previous three appearances after averaging 15.4 minutes across his first nine games of the 2024-25 campaign.
Shines in expanded role Monday
Payne racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 134-106 win over the Wizards. Payne scored a season-high mark Monday, and the 23-minute output was also a direct reflection of the blowout nature of the game as New York cruised to a 28-point win. Payne is finding ways to remain productive and has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings off the bench. However, he's still not playing enough to be valuable in fantasy as anything more than a potential streaming option. Regardless, Payne should continue to operate as the primary backup point guard until Miles McBride (knee/illness) is cleared to suit up again.
