Hawks' Paul Millsap: Could be rested Sunday

Millsap (knee) could be rested on Sunday against the Cavaliers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Millsap was rested on Friday against the Cavaliers in the second game of a back-to-back set and with the Hawks having three contests in the next four days, coach Mike Budenholzer may give him another day off. That could mean Millsap is dealing with some residual soreness to the knee injury that costed him seven games over the last month, although the team could just be taking a cautious approach with their star big man. We should see another update come at some point during pregame warmups, but Ersan Ilyasova would likely start in his place if Millsap is held out.
