Millsap out two more games

By Chris Vivlamore

Paul Millsap will not play against the Bulls Tuesday or the Celtics Wednesday, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said.

Millsap suffered a right knee contusion in Friday’s loss to the Pistons. The injury forced the power forward to miss Saturday’s win over the Knicks. Now, the Hawks will be without their All-Star for at least two more games.

Millsap was injured after bumping knees with a Pistons player. He returned to the game but his knee swelled during the flight home. An MRI exam was negative.

Millsap did not participate in Hawks practice Monday, instead he worked on the side lifting weights with the training staff.

Budenholzer gave no further timetable on how long Millsap could be out following the back-to-back games.
