Millsap was seen practicing without a protective compression shirt or pad Tuesday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Millsap played with the pad on his shoulder in Game 1, and it sounds as though he's hoping to go without it in Game 2 on Wednesday. Millsap had only kinesiology tape on the shoulder at practice, but he did not speak to reporters so at this point it's unclear what his plan is for Game 2.
