Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II has received the NBA Cares Community Assist Award presented by Kaiser Permanente for the month of January in recognition of his ongoing support of youth with learning disabilities and passion to uplift children facing other hardships. The monthly honor recognizes a player who best demonstrates the passion that the league and NBA players share for giving back to their communities. The NBA and Kaiser Permanente will donate $10,000 to the GPII Foundation as Payton's nonprofit beneficiary of choice. The award marks the 11th time a Warriors player has earned the monthly honor (Adonal Foyle earned the award twice).
