SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors’ lone trade deadline addition won’t be on the floor for at least another month.
Gary Payton II, whom the Warriors acquired in a four-team deal at last week’s trade deadline, is dealing with an abdominal injury discovered by the team’s medical staff during a routine physical and will be reevaluated in March.
Golden State initially put the trade, which shipped former lottery pick James Wiseman to Detroit, on hold after learning that Payton would miss significant time with the injury.
