Atlanta will be without Paul Millsap (knee), Thabo Sefolosha (knee) on Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks forward/center Paul Millsap (knee) and guard/forward Thabo Sefolosha (groin) will not play versus the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.
This will be a sixth straight miss for Millsap, but he's hopefully nearing a return after his MRI results came back clean. The 32-year-old big man is dealing with tightness and swelling in his left knee. Ersan Ilyasova will replace Millsap in the starting lineup again. He's struggled with his shot lately, going 8-of-31 from the field (25.8 percent) in his last three, but he's also averaging 11.7 rebounds per game in that span -- including a season-high 18 on Sunday.
As a starter this season (45 games), Ilyasova is averaging 14.8 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 3-pointers per contest. His -0.2 nERD on the year ranks just inside the NBA's top-200.
