Rejuvenated by Serbia Stint, Cam Payne Finds His Way Back to Sixers
Payne joins the Sixers after averaging 11.6 points and 3.8 assists in 15 games with KK Partizan, aiming to ease heavy minutes for starters like Maxey and Edgecombe.
- The Philadelphia 76ers signed Cam Payne on Tuesday after he flew from Belgrade through Amsterdam and practiced in Camden ahead of Thursday’s game.
- Following the trade that sent Jared McCain away, the team sought a veteran ball-handler to fill the backup point guard spot, as Coach Nick Nurse said the roster needed one.
- After a preseason stint that didn't pan out, Cam Payne went to play for KK Partizan, enjoying the boisterous fans and indoor flares, and is a veteran of 477 NBA games with 72 postseason games.
- As a fourth guard behind Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, Payne is listed out for Thursday with right shin soreness and will be reevaluated before the New Orleans and Minnesota back-to-back.
- Having gone overseas twice before, Payne signing with the Philadelphia 76ers reflects a recurring path back to the NBA and continued league attention, offering experience with international stints.
