Millsap is the Hawks leading scorer at 18.1 points per game and is second on the team in rebounds (7.7), assists (3.8) and steals (1.3).

The Hawks and Millsap are in a delicate situation in dealing with the injury. The Hawks are fighting for a playoff spot and position. They are tied for fifth in the Eastern Conference standings with 10 games remaining in the regular season. While it’s unlikely they will fall out of the playoffs, they could drop to the eighth and final spot as they struggle. Millsap will most likely opt of his player option and become an unrestricted free agent this summer. A notion that Millsap may have lingering effects of the injury moving forward could be a concern.
