Adreian Payne signs NBA deal after turning down team in China

Rather than take his talents to China, Adreian Payne is going staying stateside for another shot in the NBA. The former Michigan State big man signed a two-way contract with the Orlando Magic, the team announced Monday. A two-way contract means Payne will play with the Magic’s G-League affiliate but can also spend up to 45 days with the NBA club. Teams can sign two players to two-way contracts in addition to the 15-man roster.
