Earlier today during this morning’s shoot around at 5G Verizon Center, Cameron Payne talked with the media for the first time in a month and he discussed his possible return date from a foot injury that he sustained against the Cavaliers.

He was asked how crazy it would be if his first game is next week against the Oklahoma City Thunder with Kevin Durant. To Payne, it would be a full circle moment for him and his family.
“It’s really crazy. I said that to my dad. It’s crazy we play OKC first, too. It’s crazy how it’s set up. I’m pretty sure Sam might come to the game so it would be pretty awesome.”
Payne was also asked about the arrival of his former teammate Durant and he’s looking forward to showing his friend how much he’s grown.
“It’s pretty cool to see him. My game has evolved so it should be pretty interesting to play with him again and kind of see how it is I was pretty young, like you said I was a rookie… It’s been fun so far can’t wait to play on the floor with him.”

The next game against OKC is on February 24th a week from tonight. Before then the Suns are hoping to get a win at Footprint Center tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers.
