Oklahoma City's Cameron Payne (foot) hoping to return on opening night
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Cameron Payne (Jones fracture) is hoping to be ready to go on opening night of the 2016-2017 season.
What It Means:
Payne had surgery on July 25, after an impressive showing in summer league, and it would be big for the Thunder, who lack depth at guard, if he can avoid missing any time in the regular season.
Payne managed a -0.2 nERD in his rookie year, ranking 82nd in the NBA, while he averaged 5.0 points, 1.9 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 12.2 minutes per game, with a .490 true shooting percentage and 12.9 player efficiency rating.
