Gary Payton II clarifies Instagram story after reportedly leaving Warriors

Gary Payton II, beloved with Dub Nation, reportedly is nearing a three-year contract to head back to the Pacific Northwest, and understandably, Warriors fans are disappointed to see him leave the Bay Area.

That's why, when Payton posted a cryptic Instagram story on Friday, Warriors fans weren't sure how to interpret it.

A few hours later, Payton clarified on Twitter that he was only referring to the fact that he's getting paid by the Portland Trail Blazers.

Payton later posted a second Instagram story with blue and yellow heart emojis, signaling his love for the Warriors.
