Welcome to San Antonio, Cam Payne.

In one of the most exciting trade acquisitions of the summer, 2015 Ohio Valley Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Year, a 2025 second-round pick and cash considerations made their way from Phoenix to San Antonio for a protected 2024 second-round pick.

Payne is an energetic bench guy who had a slow start in the NBA. Injuries impeded his consistency and as a result, Cam spent a lot of time in and out of G-League assignments.

Time with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Chicago Bears, and Cleveland Cavaliers led his to a NBA title run with the Phoenix Suns in 2021.
