Payton (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against Denver, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Payton has missed the Warriors' last four games due to a partial tear of a ligament in his left thumb, but the team announced Thursday that the veteran wing is making progress in his recovery and can be considered day-to-day. If Payton is cleared to play Friday, Gui Santos could move out of the rotation.
