Denver rules Paul Millsap (knee) out for Tuesday

The Denver Nuggets have ruled Paul Millsap (knee sprain) out for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Millsap went down early against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday and is now set to miss his first game of the season with a knee sprain.

Rookie Zeke Nnaji saw a season-high in minutes (23.83) on Sunday with Millsap's early exit, and could see a similar workload Tuesday. The 2020 first-round pick scored 16 points with 3 rebounds and 1 steal in that win over the Lakers.
