Payne unlikely to play against Spurs

It appears rookie Adreian Payne will miss another game with plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

The forward/center did not practice Monday. Coach Mike Budenholzer said it is unlikely Payne will play in Wednesday’s game at the Spurs. Payne has been inactive for both games this season. He was officially listed on the team’s injury report only for Saturday’s win over the Pacers.

Starting shooting guard Kyle Korver also missed practice Monday due to an illness.

“He is under the weather,” Budenholzer said. “We’ll see how he does in the next 24 hours.”

The Hawks must provide an injury report by 5 p.m. Tuesday in advance of Wednesday’s game against the Spurs.
