Golden State Warriors veteran guard Gary Payton II is set to miss time due to a thumb injury, according to a report from Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
Payton, a nine-year veteran, has played in 58 games for Golden State this year, averaging 6.6 points and 3.0 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per contest. However, Payton has been seeing an uptick in playing time recently, as head coach Steve Kerr navigates the injury of star Steph Curry ahead of the playoffs which are set to begin next month.
