Cameron Payne Injury: Will likely play Sunday

Payne (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Suns.

After missing four straight games with a sprained right ankle, Payne returned to action Saturday, posting three points, five assists and three rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench during a 121-105 win in Atlanta. While Payne will likely suit up in the second leg of a back-to-back set, he's looking at a reduced role now that Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) are on track to return following 15- and eight-game absences, respectively.
