A day after leading Portland past his former Golden State team, Gary Payton II rejoined the defending champion Warriors to give them a boost down the stretch after being traded by the Trail Blazers.
The Warriors announced the move Thursday night as part of a four-team trade that sent center James Wiseman to Detroit. Golden State also will receive unprotected 2026 and '28 second-round draft picks from Portland while giving up Memphis' 2026 second-round pick and its own 2028 second-round selection to Portland.
The 30-year-old Payton played a key role as a defensive stopper for Golden State during last season's title run and will immediately provide backcourt depth with Stephen Curry sidelined at least until after the All-Star break with a left leg injury. While Payton reached a $28 million, three-year contract last summer to join the Blazers he didn't make his Portland debut until last month.
