Warriors' Gary Payton: Won't play Thursday

Payton finished with 14 points, two rebounds and one steal in 16 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks, but he may have gotten injured at some point along the way.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Moves to bench against Magic
Payton is coming off the bench in Monday's game against the Magic, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Draymond Green (calf) is back in Golden State's lineup Monday, pushing Payton back to the bench after the latter started six of his last seven games for the Warriors. Through 27 outings from the second unit this year, Payton has averaged 4.6 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals in 12.8 minutes, so he'll have far less fantasy appeal against Orlando.

Warriors' Gary Payton: 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 Green and/or Anderson back for its next game Saturday versus the Wizards.
