Payton will not return to Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a sprained left ankle, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. He finished with one point, one rebound and one steal in eight minutes.
X-rays were negative, so this could be a day-to-day issue. If Payton is unable to play in Saturday's rematch against the Thunder, Cory Joseph, Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski could see more action.
