Atlanta Hawks
Millsap out vs. Trail Blazers
Hawks power forward Paul Millsap (4) goes to the basket between New Orleans Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis, right, and point guard Brian Roberts (22).
The Hawks will be without Paul Millsap for Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers. The All-Star forward continues to be bothered by the right knee contusion that cost him the four games.
According to coach Mike Budenholzer, Millsap is nearing a return. He participated in a 3-on-3 contract scrimmage during the Hawks two off days.
Mike Scott will start in Millsap’s place, joining Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, DeMarre Carroll and Elton Brand.
Pero Antic will be available but not part of the regular rotation. The center also took part in the 3-on-3 scrimmage.
