It appears Paul Millsap’s sprained left ankle will only cost him a half game.

The Hawks power forward was in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Heat, three days after he suffered the injury in the first half of Thursday’s game at the Pacers.

Millsap left in the second quarter and was unable to return in the second half. The Hawks listed him as probable for Sunday’s game. After warming up, Millsap was placed in the starting lineup.

It was good news for the Hawks, who have lost two straight and four of the past five games, to have their leading scorer and rebounder back in the lineup.
