Oklahoma City's Cameron Payne (foot) sheds walking boot
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Cameron Payne (Jones fracture) said that he shed his walking boot two weeks ago, and he's progressed to running and shooting.
If he can avoid any setbacks, Payne should be ready to go on opening night. After a promising Summer League showing, the Thunder may elect to use the 22-year-old point guard as their sixth man this upcoming season. Payne is still likely off the radar in standard fantasy leagues, though.
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.
