Hawks rookie Adreian Payne has been ruled out of Wednesday’s game at the Spurs due to the continued bout with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

Payne has been present but has not taken part in practice the past two days. It will be the third straight game that Payne has been inactive, two due to the foot injury. The Hawks also play Friday at the Hornets on the two-game road trip.

Kyle Korver was listed as probable on the team’s injury report Tuesday. The starting shooting guard missed practice Monday due to an illness. He returned to practice Tuesday.
