Cameron Payne

Cameron Payne (born August 8, 1994) is an American professional basketball player who last played for the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for Murray State and was selected 14th overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2015 NBA draft. After playing two seasons for the Thunder, he was traded to the Chicago Bulls in 2017, where he played for three seasons before being waived in 2019. After being waived, Payne played for the Cleveland Cavaliers on 10-day contracts before heading overseas to play with the Shanxi Loongs of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA). Payne returned to the NBA and signed with the Phoenix Suns in 2020, where he revitalized his career by becoming a key player off the bench, helping the team reach the NBA Finals in 2021. Since then, he has played for the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, and the New York Knicks.
