Top Cameron Payne News

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will play vs. Toronto

    Payne (elbow) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

    Payne missed the Knicks' last two games due to a left elbow effusion, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to play Monday and will serve as the primary backup at point guard behind Jalen Brunson. Across his 10 outings prior to the injury, Payne averaged 9.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds over 20.0 minutes per game.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Deemed questionable for Monday

    Payne (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game against Toronto, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Payne is in danger of missing a third consecutive matchup due to a left elbow effusion. If the veteran guard is sidelined, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time off the bench.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Won't play Saturday vs. Pistons

    Payne (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Detroit, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

    Payne is dealing with a left elbow effusion, and it's serious enough for him to be sidelined Saturday. Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride are slated to see more minutes off the bench due to Payne's absence. Payne's next chance to play will be Monday against the Raptors.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Questionable for Saturday

    Payne (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

    The floor general was held out of Thursday's game against the Hornets and was initially listed as day-to-day, so it's not surprising to see him getting a questionable tag. Even if he's deemed available, Payne isn't expected to have a lot of fantasy upside. He's averaging just 8.2 points, 3.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game this season.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Considered day-to-day

    Payne (elbow), who was held out of Thursday's game against the Hornets, is being labeled as day-to-day, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

    Coach Tom Thibodeau stated after the game that the team will see how Payne feels Friday morning, but it sounds like he'll have a chance to play in Saturday's matchup against Detroit if all goes well over the next few days. Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek would continue to benefit from a playing time standpoint until Payne gets the green light to return.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Won't play Thursday

    Payne (elbow) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup versus the Hornets, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Payne will miss Thursday's game due to left elbow inflammation. With the veteran guard sidelined, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time off the bench.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Dealing with elbow effusion

    Payne is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte due to a left elbow effusion.

    Payne is dealing with the buildup of fluids in his elbow joint, putting his status in jeopardy for Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old has appeared in 12 consecutive contests and is raining in 49.1 percent of 4.4 threes per game over that span, so his elbow has yet to cause performance-related issues

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Adds 11 points off bench

    Payne logged 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-106 loss to the Jazz.

    Payne led the New York bench in scoring with a strong showing from beyond the arc. He's enjoyed an expanded role for this Knicks team of late due to the absence of Miles McBride (knee), as Payne has averaged 26.7 minutes over his previous three appearances after averaging 15.4 minutes across his first nine games of the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Shines in expanded role Monday

    Payne racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 134-106 win over the Wizards.

    Payne scored a season-high mark Monday, and the 23-minute output was also a direct reflection of the blowout nature of the game as New York cruised to a 28-point win. Payne is finding ways to remain productive and has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings off the bench. However, he's still not playing enough to be valuable in fantasy as anything more than a potential streaming option. Regardless, Payne should continue to operate as the primary backup point guard until Miles McBride (knee/illness) is cleared to suit up again.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will play Friday

    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.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Probable for Friday

    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.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Perfect from field

    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.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Cleared Wednesday

    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.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Questionable for Wednesday

    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.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Good to go Tuesday

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Downgraded to out

    Payne (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Questionable vs. Indiana

    Payne (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    Payne has missed three games in a row due to a left hamstring strain, and it seems the floor general doesn't have a clear date for his return. The questionable tag leaves the door open for a potential return Sunday, but even if he's available, he shouldn't see heavy minutes off the bench.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Won't go Friday

    Payne (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

    Payne will miss his third consecutive matchup due to a left hamstring strain. The 30-year-old is averaging 15.4 minutes per game, so his absence likely won't affect the rotation too heavily. However, Tyler Kolek could benefit from a slight uptick in playing time. Payne's next chance to play will come Sunday against the Pacers.

  • Knicks' Cameron Payne: Iffy for Friday

    Payne (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Bucks.

    Payne is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest while dealing with a strained left hamstring. The 30-year-old's absence should not cause many waves in the rotation as he is averaging 15.4 minutes per game through five regular-season contests, though Tyler Kolek is a candidate for a slight uptick in playing time.
