Gary Payton II will not play against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday on the first day of the Play-In Tournament, head coach Steve Kerr announced.

Payton missed the last three regular-season games with a calf injury and was previously questionable for the contest.

This year, the 31-year-old played just 44 games for the Warriors due to various injuries. Before the current setback, Payton had missed several weeks of action due to a hamstring strain.

The son of Hall of Famer Gary Payton is averaging 5.5 points and 2.6 rebounds this season. The Warriors, meanwhile, finished the season in 10th place and will have to win two play-in games in a row to advance to the playoffs.
