Payton is questionable to play Saturday against the Magic due to right calf tightness.
We'll have a better idea on Payton's status based on his activity level at Saturday's shootaround, but if he's forced to the sidelines, that would open up some minutes for Brandon Williams and De'Anthony Melton. LJ Cryer would also have the opportunity to get into the rotation sans Payton.
RotoWire via ESPN · 5h ago
Payton accumulated five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Sunday's 124-112 victory over the Clippers.
Payton delivered his usual complementary production in a limited bench role, contributing a steal and a three-pointer without requiring much offensive involvement. His defensive activity can occasionally provide value in deeper leagues, but his modest minutes and scoring opportunities leave him with little appeal in standard formats.
RotoWire via ESPN · 4d ago
Payton ended Saturday's 131-122 loss to the Suns with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in 17 minutes.
Payton logged double-digit minutes for a third straight game to open the regular season, though he didn't make much of an impact. The veteran guard is averaging 6.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per tilt so far this season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 25
Payton (rest) contributed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes in Saturday's 111-106 preseason win over the Kings.
Payton did not travel for Wednesday's exhibition in Portland, but he returned to the floor for Saturday's preseason game. With the offseason addition of Brandon Williams, Payton could have a tough time consistently getting into the rotation this season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 11
Payton (rest) is out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Payton is among several rotation players Golden State is holding out Wednesday during a preseason back-to-back. The veteran guard remains in the mix for a reserve role after appearing in a career-high 73 games during the 2025-26 regular season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 7
Payton finished with six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two steals and one assist in 11 minutes during Sunday's 104-101 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Payton made his usual impact defensively in limited action, recording two steals without committing a turnover. The 33-year-old re-signed with Golden State on a one-year deal during the offseason and should remain a situational defensive option in a crowded Warriors backcourt.
