Gary Payton

Podz was initially deemed questionable to return to this game due to lower back soreness. He was only able to play the first minute of the game before exiting. Gui Santos started the second half in his place, though Buddy Hield and Gary Payton II should also see a bump in minutes with Podz out.

Gary Payton II issued a not-so-friendly PSA to the rest of the NBA about the Golden State Warriors' "scary" emergence.

GP2 missed Tuesday's win in New York, but after initially being listed as probable to play against Brooklyn, he has officially been cleared. He'll occupy his typical reserve role, which will likely cut into Kevin Knox II's minutes.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr shared the latest injury updates on Jonathan Kuminga and Gary Payton II as Golden State wraps a five-game road trip.

Payton is set to miss Tuesday's game against the Knicks with a nasal bone contusion. The 32-year-old shooting guard doesn't typically have much fantasy value, though he might've been in line for a bigger role Tuesday with Stephen Curry (ankle) questionable.
