Warriors guard Gary Payton II could possibly make his team debut this weekend as long as his recovery from his right adductor injury continues to progress.
Payton was evaluated by the team on Wednesday and is making “good progress,” the team announced on Thursday. He will be evaluated again on Saturday after practice and the team will decide if he is ready to play ahead of Sunday’s game vs. the Timberwolves.
If the guard plays on Sunday, it would be his official 2022–23 debut for the Warriors since he was traded to the team in mid-February. He failed his physical after being traded due to a core muscle issue.
