Report: Bulls' Payne to undergo foot surgery

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will undergo surgery on his right foot and will miss about a month of regular-season action, sources told The Vertical's Shams Charania on Wednesday.

It would be Payne’s third operation on the same foot in the last 14 months.

Payne arrived in Chicago from the Oklahoma City Thunder via the Taj Gibson-Doug McDermott deal at last season's trade deadline. He didn't play particularly well in limited minutes, shooting 33 percent from the floor.

As the Bulls head into a clear rebuilding season, the injury further obscures where Payne will fit in behind the team's other point guards - Zach LaVine, Jerian Grant, and Kris Dunn.
