Millsap returns, will start versus Bulls

Paul Millsap will return to the Hawks lineup and start against the Bulls in the regular-season finale Wednesday.

The All-Star forward missed the past five games with a sprain and contusion of his right shoulder. He suffered the injury against the Nets April 4.

Millsap returned to practice Tuesday and said he would like to play in the finale to get ready for the playoffs, which start this weekend. The team wanted to see how Millsap responded to the workout before making a final decision.
