Overview

- Payne recently attended Indiana Pacers training camp but was not retained for the regular season roster.
- The pursuit follows a reported foot injury expected to sideline Partizan playmaker Carlik Jones for several months.
- No agreement has been announced, and a move would represent Payne’s first professional stint in Europe.
- Last season with the Knicks, Payne averaged 6.9 points and 2.8 assists in 15.1 minutes across 72 games, including 36.3% from three on 3.6 attempts.
