Cameron Payne News: Coming off bench Saturday

Payne (ankle) is available and will come off the bench in Saturday's game versus the Hawks, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

Payne had missed the Knicks' previous four contests due to a right ankle sprain. Prior to getting hurt, Payne had started three straight games and averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 26.0 minutes while Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) were out, but Delon Wright will continue to play on the top unit Saturday. Payne should still be in line for meaningful minutes as Wright's backup.
