Paul Millsap excited to renew Nuggets and Jazz rivalry Wednesday

After four seasons spent playing in Atlanta, Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap says he's excited to play his former team the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, renewing his stake in the rivalry between Utah and Denver.

What It Means:

“It’s going to be interesting,” Millsap said. “I’m excited about it. Always excited to get that first one out of the way, get out there, get a good feel for it and see what happens after that.” Millsap stands to be one of the core members of the Nuggets' offense this season, and next to Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets have one of the most talented offensive front courts in the entire league.
