Phoenix Suns backup point guard Cameron Payne was in his second game back after missing nine with a right foot strain.
Payne re-aggravated his right foot injury while tripping and falling on a play that ended with him fouling Donovan Mitchell in the first quarter of Wednesday’s“I tripped before even got to me,” Payne said. “Just kind of a weird incident. Can’t really elaborate on it. I went back and watched it and it’s just like clumsy Cam Payne.”
The Suns backup point guard finished with just two points on 1-of-5 shooting and two assists in nine minutes. He checked out of the game with 48.7 seconds left in the first half and didn’t return. “I saw him with the training staff at halftime,” said Suns coach Monty Williams, who doesn’t recall seeing Payne laboring in the first half. “Then they told me he was out. So I had to just roll the dice with rotations and things of that nature.”, said he was looking to return for the second half, but was told by his teammates to shut it down for the game.
“A lot of guys on the team said it’s bigger than just and this game cause they know how crazy I am,” Payne said. “They kind of basically said don’t do it, don’t go out there and finish.”“Our team, they just kind of called it,” Payne said. “Just told me to wrap it up for the night.” The Suns have lost seven of their last eight games as they play Friday against Miami at Footprint Center in Phoenix.
