Denver Nuggets power forward Paul Millsap will return after the All-Star break, in early- or mid-March, head coach Mike Malone told Nuggets sideline reporter Katy Winge:
Coach Malone today after practice confirmed that Paul Millsap will not be back until after All-Star. Said they will go back to the doctor to re-evaluate and they are looking at an early to mid March return.

After signing in Denver this offseason, Millsap was able to play just 16 games for the Nuggets before going down with a ligament injury in his left wrist and undergoing surgery on that wrist.
Prior to his injury, Millsap was averaging 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, three assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. He was shooting 44.6 percent from the floor and 34.5 percent from 3-point territory.
Assuming he’s still the same after this injury, Millsap is a game-changing player, an All-Defensive-Team-level talent.
