I’m not sure Cam Payne will ever play basketball again. Three months ago, the Thunder announced that Payne would be out for at least 6-8 weeks and there would be an update at that time. Thunder fans are still waiting for that update.
The most we’ve seen is Payne shooting set shots during warm-ups. No reports on him dribbling, running, or doing anything that a competent basketball player needs to do. This scenario feels oddly familiar, but I can’t quite put my finger on it.
No matter what your opinion on Payne is, I think all Thunder fans agree that he’s a pretty important piece to the OKC puzzle.
