Gary Payton Player Profile
Career History
Gary Payton Latest News
Will play against Chicago
Payton (illness) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. Payton's status was uncertain ahead of Thursday's game against the Bulls, but he's been cleared to play. The veteran guard performed well in Wednesday's loss to the Kings, finishing with eight points, six rebounds, and an assist in 13 minutes for the Warriors.
Downgraded to questionable
Payton (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls. After starting the last two games, Payton is trending toward not playing in Friday's game against Chicago. Fortunately, Brandin Podziemski will make his return against the Bulls, which should help pick up the slack in the backcourt.
Probable for Thursday
Payton (illness) has been listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Bulls. Payton is battling an illness but is trending toward playing in Thursday's game against the Bulls. The 31-year-old guard is averaging 4.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.4 minutes per game this season for Golden State.
Good to go Wednesday
Payton (illness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Kings. Payton was a game-time call for Wednesday's contest due to illness, but he's been cleared to suit up. Payton was part of the first unit for Monday's loss to Boston but played merely 12 minutes. He'll remain in the starting lineup Wednesday, per Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Questionable for Wednesday
Payton (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings. Payton started Monday's game against Boston but played just 12 minutes in the blowout loss. Even while the Warriors are shorthanded, Payton is an underwhelming fantasy option with a low usage rate and no offensive upside.
Gets starting nod
Payton will start Monday's game versus Boston, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. With Draymond Green (calf) set to miss the next four games, Payton will get the first shot at replacing him. In four previous starts this season, Payton averaged 6.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals.
Gets 19 minutes in return
Payton (calf) tallied seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes Wednesday in the Warriors' 116-115 win over the Timberwolves. Golden State was without Draymond Green (illness/back), Brandin Podziemski (abdomen), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) and Kyle Anderson (hamstring) on Wednesday, but the return of Payton from a 10-game absence due to a calf strain helped restore some depth to the rotation. Payton is a versatile defensive piece for Golden State who should continue to hold down a spot on the second unit, but his minutes are likely to take a hit once the Warriors get healthier. Podziemski and Kuminga appear to be further away from returns, but Golden State could get both Green and/or Anderson back for its next game Saturday versus the Wizards.
Upgraded to available
Payton (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. After sitting for 10 straight games due to a left calf strain, Payton will return to Golden State's lineup Wednesday. The 32-year-old guard logged just 13.1 minutes per game over 28 contests (four starts) for the Warriors in 2024-25, but he could see decent run while Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) remains on the shelf. Payton's return figures to reduce Lindy Waters' playing time, although the former might be facing a minutes restriction right off the bat.
Upgraded to probable
Payton (calf) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. After sitting for 10 straight games due to a left calf strain, Payton will likely return to Golden State's lineup Wednesday. The 32-year-old guard is playing only 13.1 minutes per game over 28 contests (four starts) for the Warriors in 2024-25, but he could see decent run while Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) remains on the shelf. Payton's return would likely be bad news for Lindy Waters' playing time.
