Bulls' Cameron Payne: Will not play Friday due to illness

Payne is inactive for Friday's tilt against the Suns due to an illness, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Payne's Bulls debut will be postponed due an illness, and his status for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers should also be monitored. When he finally does suit up, he could see solid minutes considering the Bulls are still searching for a point guard for the future, and seemingly aren't too thrilled with what they had prior to Payne's arrival.
