The 33-year-old guard returns on a one-year deal after six seasons anchoring Golden State's perimeter defense.
Gary Payton II signed a one-year, $3.9 million contract to remain with the Warriors. The 33-year-old guard has spent the majority of the past six seasons in Golden State, averaging 7.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 73 games last season while playing 15.6 minutes per night.
Payton's perimeter defense has been a consistent resource for the Warriors' rotation. His return keeps continuity in the backcourt depth chart as the offseason winds down.
