Rotowire
Millsap has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to a non-COVID illness.
Despite being healthy, Millsap hasn't played since March 29, so his absence shouldn't impact the rotation. It's unclear if he'll garner a role for the 76ers during the playoffs.
Millsap will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.
With Joel Embiid returning to the lineup after a one-game absence, Millsap will shift back to a reserve role. The veteran is averaging 3.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game this season.
Millsap will start Monday's game against the Heat.
Joel Embiid (back) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with Miami, so Millsap will make his first start for Philadelphia. Millsap didn't play as a coach's decision the past seven games but will obviously be in the rotation Monday with Embiid out.

76ers' Paul Millsap: Out Monday
Rotowire
Millsap (personal) will not play Monday against the Bulls.
The veteran is tending to a personal matter and will not be available as the Sixers begin a three-game week. His next chance to play will come Thursday against the Nets.
Millsap closed Wednesday's 123-108 victory over the Knicks with two rebounds and one block across 12 minutes.
Millsap, while featuring in the rotation on a regular basis, continues to be a nonfactor when it comes to fantasy value. He has now played five games for his new team, averaging just 4.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists in just over 10 minutes per game. While we do have fond memories of his time in Atlanta and to a lesser extent, Denver, Millsap is simply now an afterthought when it comes to fantasy basketball.
Millsap is expected to play a larger role in the team's rotation Thursday against Milwaukee, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.
Millsap logged only nine minutes in his team debut Tuesday against the Celtics, but head coach Doc Rivers plans to use the veteran forward in an expanded role Thursday, per Carlin. He's played in just two contests since the start of the calendar year, logging 19 and nine minutes in those two contests, respectively.

76ers' Paul Millsap: Scores nine points in Philly debut
Rotowire
Millsap racked up nine points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Tuesday's 135-87 loss to the Celtics.
Millsap was serviceable during his time on the court in his 76ers debut, which marked his first appearance since Jan. 13 after he elected to leave the Nets shortly thereafter while the team worked to trade him. The blowout nature of the game may have contributed to Millsap playing a slightly larger role than expected, as he won't be a lock to stick in Philadelphia's rotation as Joel Embiid's primary backup.
