Paul Millsap may already be a veteran in the NBA who has seen plenty of ups and downs in his career, but he recently admitted that what he’s going through right now is the toughest he’s had so far as a pro.
The Denver Nuggets forward, who is currently injured and recovering from a left wrist surgery, called his situation as “tragic.” He also added, via Adam Mares of SB Nation, that the timing of his injury was the worst as he was playing well and already starting to understand the system of the team.
“It’s tragic,” Millsap said. “I was just starting to feel good. And our team was starting to feel real good and you could tell things were coming together offensively and defensively.”
“Nothing compares to this. Anytime you’re having surgery, I mean, it’s tough. I’ve had knee swelling. I’ve had tendinitis. The common things for an athlete but this is by far the worst and this is by far the toughest I’ve been through in my 12 year career.”
It was also reported recently that the Nuggets are aggressive with Paul Millsap's timetable, but the All-Star forward is very eager to resume playing on the court, and plans to return even earlier than scheduled. In the 16 games he played this season, Millsap averaged 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game.
It can be expected that Paul Millsap will be very pumped up once he is cleared by doctors. He was brought in by the Nuggets to be their veteran locker room leader and to form an prolific frontcourt together with Nikola Jokic.
