Hawks' Paul Millsap: Probable Thursday vs. Celtics

Millsap (knee) is probable for Thursday's tilt against the Celtics, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Millsap made his return Sunday from an eight-game absence due to a non-surgical procedure on his left knee, providing 14 points, four rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes of action. That being said, the Hawks are likely opting to play it safe with Millsap moving forward, probably listing him on the injury report for Thursday as a precautionary measure. That being said, even if he does play, he's not a lock to start or see a 30-minute workload. The situation is worth monitoring, as the Hawks will likely provide more information after the team's Thursday morning shootaround.
