A professional basketball player, Cameron Payne, who has been in the NBA for nine years, made headlines on June 14 when he was arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona. According to reports from CBS News, the point guard, who currently plays for the Philadelphia 76ers, was taken into custody after an incident in Scottsdale. However, he was released later that same day.
The Scottsdale Police Department stated that they were called to the scene of a disturbance at 2:44 a.m, where they encountered the 29-year-old athlete. Upon arrival, Payne was booked on charges of refusing to provide his true identity and giving a false report to law enforcement. He was then taken to the Scottsdale City Jail.
Details about the disturbance were not disclosed, but it was confirmed that there were two people involved. Payne joined the 76ers in February after being traded from the Milwaukee Bucks. In July of 2023, he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs, but never played for them. He was released and later signed with the Bucks before eventually finding his way to the 76ers.
Before his time with the Bucks, Payne played for the Phoenix Suns for four seasons. He was also a first-round pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, where he was selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder after completing his college career at Murray State University.
Throughout his career, Payne has also played for the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has also had stints in the G League and the Chinese Basketball League, as reported by NBC Philadelphia.
During his time with the 76ers, Payne appeared in 31 regular season games and averaged 9.3 points and 3.1 assists per game. In the playoffs, he averaged 5.3 points and shot 44% on three-pointers.
As of now, Payne is a free agent, and his future with the 76ers or any other team is uncertain. However, he remains a talented player with a successful career in the NBA.
