Gary Payton: Breaking News

Poor production continues

Payton finished Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to the Suns with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes. Payton scored no more than six points for the third straight game, closing out what was an indifferent season. Although he was well outside the top 200, his efforts over the final month were far improved. In 14 games during that time, he averaged 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals, good enough for top 100 value.

Ejected Friday

Payton was ejected in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Kings after being assessed his second technical foul, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. He'll finish with 10 points (5-6 FG), three rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes. Payton picked up his first technical foul in the third quarter and received another in the fourth. Although he played just 15 minutes, he scored in double figures for a fourth consecutive contest and for the 15th time over his last 16 appearances.

Strong line off bench

Payton supplied eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Thursday's 118-111 loss to the Cavaliers. After missing Wednesday's game against the Spurs for injury maintenance, Payton responded with a terrific line Thursday. It's worth noting that Stephen Curry (knee) is targeting a return Sunday against Houston, so there's a chance Payton's workload decreases moving forward.
