Paul Millsap went for an MRI on his bruised right knee after missing a second consecutive game. The results of the MRI showed that Millsap is suffering from just a bruise and there is no structural damage. This is good news for Millsap owners who have been counting on him since Carlos Boozer went down.


Millsap has said that his injured left knee feels worse than his hyperextended right knee did when he injured it back in December. He missed three games due to that injury. He is feeling pain when he runs and jumps and it seems that rest is the only thing that will help. Hopefully, this won’t be another Zach Randolph issue. Randolph has missed ten games with a bruised knee. Millsap owners can not afford to lose him for that long.


Andrei Kirilenko owners should be ecstatic with this news because it means that he will start in Millsap’s place. Kirilenko was having a comeback player type of season as the sixth man for the Utah Jazz while still receiving starter’s minutes. But, now his minutes will likely increase even more and his numbers should get even better.
