Darnell Mayberry: Season debut for Cameron Payne.
Bulls point guard Cameron Payne is set to make his season debut Thursday against the 76ers after he foot surgery sidelined him for nearly two-thirds of the season. He’ll play secondary to Bulls starting point guard Kris Dunn.

KC Johnson: Paxson also said Bulls will look at Cameron Payne "sometime after the All-Star break." It's so on.
KC Johnson: McDermott in town means Cam Payne talk. Hoiberg: "We hope to get him back in the next six weeks and give him a real look to see what we have with him. He’s a guy who can push the ball up the floor."
Chicago will have until October 31st to decide on the 4th year team option for Cameron Payne. The 3rd year point guard is out 3-4 months after undergoing surgery on his right foot. Payne would have a $3.3M cap hit if the Bulls elect to exercise his option for 2018-19.
Chicago Bulls guard Cameron Payne will undergo surgery on his right foot Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined until late November, league sources told The Vertical. The Bulls acquired Payne at the trade deadline last season as a potential point guard of the future, and Payne had started the summer positively in his workout regimen and participated in summer league before re-aggravating the foot.
Nick Friedell: Source confirms @Shams Charania report. Cameron Payne will have surgery on his right foot. He's out a least a couple months.
Jay King: Rajon Rondo and Cameron Payne will be inactive for the Bulls, per Hoiberg. No surprise in either case.
Cameron Payne is nearing his return to the Thunder, but first he’ll have to suit up for the Oklahoma City Blue. Thunder coach Billy Donovan didn’t specify which games Payne would play in, but the 22-year-old is expected to play this week for the Blue, possibly as early as Tuesday night in Salt Lake City. It’ll be Payne’s first live game action since suffering an acute fracture in his right foot in the Thunder’s Blue and White scrimmage Sept. 27. The Blue has three games this week: Tuesday at Salt Lake City, Thursday at Reno and Saturday at home against Greensboro (7 p.m., Cox Convention Center).
But he participated in full-contact three-on-three at the end of Wednesday's practice, as did guard Victor Oladipo, who's missed the past eight games with a sprained right wrist. Oladipo also will sit out against the Grizzlies unless something “unforeseeable” happens before the game, Donovan said. But both players appear to be closing in on returns.
