Warriors to sign Gary Payton II to 10-day contract

The Warriors will sign guard Gary Payton II to a 10-day contract, league sources confirmed with the Bay Area News Group. The deal, first reported by the Athletic, will satisfy Golden State’s obligation to carry a minimum of 14 players during the regular season, although teams can drop to 13 players for up to two weeks. After trading Brad Wanamaker and Marquese Chriss at the trade deadline, the Warriors had to sign a player by the end of the day Thursday.
