After trading James Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons, the Golden State Warriors turned their attention to a familiar face at the trade deadline. The Warriors acquired guard Gary Payton II from the Portland Trail Blazers for five second-round draft picks. However, the official deal stalled after Payton II failed his physical with Golden State.
Despite his failed physical, the Warriors agreed to the four-team deal and the trade was officially processed. Since the trade, Payton has yet to suit up for the Warriors due to a right adductor injury. Payton II last played for the Trail Blazers on Feb. 8.
