Cameron Payne Opts for NBA Waitlist Over Partizan Pursuit Amid Growing Interest

Experienced guard Cameron Payne has chosen to stay in the United States and await his next chance in the NBA, despite significant interest from the Serbian club Partizan Belgrade, as reported by Marc Stein.

Payne, who recently took part in the Indiana Pacers’ training camp, was reportedly a key consideration for Partizan as the team sought to bolster its backcourt following Carlik Jones’ injury.

At 30 years old, Payne has substantial NBA experience with franchises like the Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls, and Milwaukee Bucks, and he is reportedly dedicated to being ready for any potential opportunity as the new NBA season begins.

Meanwhile, Partizan is still actively looking to strengthen their guard lineup after recently acquiring center Bruno Fernando from Real Madrid.
