Payne (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Nets, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports. As expected, Payne has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a third consecutive contest following a four-game absence due to the hamstring injury. Miles McBride (illness) will be sidelined, so Payne and Tyler Kolek are candidates for increased roles off the bench.

Payne is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Nets due to a left hamstring strain. Payne has been a mainstay on the injury report while dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, though he has been able to play through the injury in two straight outings. The 31-year-old has appeared in seven regular-season games, during which he has averaged 6.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds across 14.7 minutes per game. If Payne is unable to play, Tyler Kolek will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Payne totaled 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two assists, one block and three steals in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 loss to the Bulls. Payne's efficient outside shooting helped him tie his season high in points with 11. The 30-year-old guard also recorded three steals Wednesday after tallying three total on the year beforehand. Payne is averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 14.7 minutes across his seven appearances in 2024-25.

Payne (hamstring) will play Wednesday versus Chicago, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Payne logged nine minutes Tuesday in his return from a multi-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and he'll suit up for the second half of New York's back-to-back set. Payne remains removed from the fantasy radar.

Payne is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a left hamstring injury, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports. After a four-game absence due to a hamstring strain, Payne returned to action in Tuesday's win over the 76ers and played nine minutes off the bench while finishing with three points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists. Miles McBride (knee) and Jalen Brunson (ankle) are also questionable, so the Knicks' backcourt depth may be tested during the second night of a back-to-back set.
