Gary Payton II is making good progress.

The Warriors received an encouraging injury update on the 32-year-old guard before Saturday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies at Chase Center.

Payton, who has missed Golden State’s last four games with a mild left calf strain, was cleared to begin individual on-court workouts after a recent re-evaluation, the team said Saturday.
