Hawks' Paul Millsap: Starting to increase workload

Millsap (knee) took part in shooting drills with the Hawks during Wednesday's practice, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Millsap has already been ruled out for the Hawks' first two preseason games after he underwent a non-surgical procedure on his right knee in late September, but after evaluating the forward's activity Wednesday, coach Mike Budenholzer noted that he was taking the "logical next step" in his recovery. It's still expected that Millsap will be back to full strength for the start of the upcoming campaign, so he'll still make for a strong pick in the first two rounds of most fantasy drafts.
