Warriors' Gary Payton: Won't start Wednesday
Payton won't start Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
On Monday, coach Steve Kerr gave Payton his first start since 2022-23 when he was a member of the Trail Blazers. However, that was likely just so the defensive-minded guard could annoy ex-Warriors guard Jordan Poole to begin the matchup versus Washington. Moses Moody moves back into the starting lineup, but the Warriors have a deep rotation, even with Brandin Podziemski (illness) sidelined.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Plays 16 minutes as starter
Payton finished with six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds and three assists across 16 minutes during Monday's 125-112 win over the Wizards.
Payton made his first start since 2022-23 when he was a member of the Trail Blazers, but he played only 15 minutes. Buddy Hield (28), Jonathan Kuminga (25) and Kyle Anderson (16) all played more minutes off the bench. Payton is a defensive-minded guard, and he was likely inserted into the starting lineup only to give ex-Warriors guard Jordan Poole fits to begin Monday's game.

Payton will start at small forward, flanked by Moses Moody, Stephen Curry, Kyle Anderson and Draymond Green.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Picks up player option
Payton exercised his $9.1 million player option for the 2024-25 season Wednesday, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
By exercising his player option, Payton will be on the books for the upcoming season and will now be able to negotiate a possible contract extension with the Warriors. Payton has had some tough luck with injuries in recent seasons, but he's invaluable to the Warriors for his perimeter defense. In 44 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, Payton averaged 5.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 15.5 minutes per contest while shooting 56.3 percent from the field.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Out for Play-In Tournament
Payton (calf) has been ruled out for the Play-In Tournament, which starts Tuesday in Sacramento, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
If the Warriors beat the Kings on Tuesday, they'd play the loser of a Pelicans-Lakers matchup, but Payton won't be able to play in that game if Golden State advances. The defensive-minded guard missed the final three regular-season contests due to a left calf strain, and his missing bench minutes will likely be absorbed by Brandin Podziemski, Chris Paul and maybe Moses Moody.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Won't play Sunday
Payton (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Payton will end the regular season on the sidelines, but he hasn't been ruled out for the Play-In Tournament yet. Payton averaged just 5.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game across 44 bench outings in 2023-24, so he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside when he's available once again.
