Gary Payton II said that he was "ready to go" for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and that he was no longer feeling any discomfort in his elbow.

Payton was available in Game 1 only for special circumstances and did not play.

Steve Kerr said he anticipates ramping up Payton's minutes.

"I anticipate that he will be available for more than that tomorrow, because the last couple of days have gone pretty well and he's feeling better," said Kerr after practice on Saturday.

Payton had a +21 plus-minus rating in the playoffs before his injury.
