Michigan State coach Izzo: 'Payne is still a couple weeks out'
The Michigan State Spartans will be without their second leading scorer Adreian Payne for a few more weeks.
Izzo: "Payne is still a couple weeks out (from playing). He's still doubtful for Tuesday vs. Iowa."

Payne has missed the last five games with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The center is averaging 16.2 points and 7.7 rebounds for the 18-2 Spartans. Michigan State was 4-0 in the seniors absence prior to dropping Saturday's game to rival Michigan.
