Barely plays in elimination game Payton provided one steal in six minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Impact Payton was used sparingly in the postseason, playing an average of 16.4 minutes across 11 games. The regular season was a similar story, as Payton made 62 appearances with averages of 6.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 three-pointers on 57.4 percent shooting in 15.0 minutes per contest. The 32-year-old veteran is likely to have a decent market once he hits free agency this offseason for his perimeter defense.

Goes scoreless in Game 5 loss Payton ended with one steal over six minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Impact Payton barely touched the floor, playing fewer than seven minutes for just the fourth time all season. Despite his continued defensive presence, Payton's shortcomings on the offensive end limit what he can do on the basketball court. He scored double-digits only once during the playoffs, while tallying just 13 total points during the most recent series against the Timberwolves. With an aging lineup, the offseason is going to be an interesting one for Golden State, particularly around what direction it takes moving forward.
