Sources: Warriors face Sunday night deadline on Gary Payton trade
The Golden State Warriors are under a 9:30 p.m. ET deadline on Sunday night to make a decision on squashing a four-team trade with Portland, Atlanta and Detroit because of issues surrounding Gary Payton II's abdomen injury, sources told ESPN on Saturday.
After Payton arrived in a Thursday trade with the Portland Trail Blazers, a physical revealed that he would be out for a significant part of the remaining season, sources said. The Warriors have shared with the league office that they believe Portland withheld relevant medical information prior to agreeing on the trade, sources said.
The trade can't be amended or changed because the league's trade deadline passed on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET.
