  • Warriors' Gary Payton: Iffy for Wednesday

    Payton is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to right calf tightness.

  • 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.
