Harrison Wind: Paul Millsap says his room at Disney World doesn’t have a window.
Harrison Wind: More from Paul Millsap: He says he brought his own food and is on his own diet at Disney World. “I’m on like a sardine diet with crackers. So I’m good. I don’t really look at the food or whatever they have.”
Among the most vocal players on the introductory call were Gary Harris, Paul Millsap and Jerami Grant, according to a team official. Grant, who has been home in Washington, D.C., had participated in peaceful protests with several family members.
Nick Kosmider: Millsap: “I know what’s at stake for basketball and the NBA. I’m all for a return. It’s not about me. It’s about all the hard work that’s gone into the CBA and where we’re at today. … I’m up for it and know the NBA wouldn’t put us in an unsafe situation.”
Nick Kosmider: Paul Millsap says in an interview on the Nuggets’ IG account that he has not returned to the Pepsi Center for workouts. Said given his own ability to work out at the gym in his house, he wanted to leave the time slots and space at Pepsi for his teammates.

Now that he has approached the hiatus with that same kind of mentality, studying ways to further understand his body and maximize what he can do, Millsap figures to be a major X-factor in Denver’s playoff run should one occur. With access to his own gym, leaning on a workout plan he created and used to spark the season’s early splash — he averaged 13.9 points through Denver’s first 18 games on 49.1/50/88.2 percent shooting splits — it will be fascinating to see whether Millsap can spring into the postseason with a similar energy level. The advanced data is clear: The Nuggets have been at their best over the past three seasons, on both ends of the floor, when Millsap is on the court and healthy. He could very well set the tone for how Denver approaches an unprecedented postseason tournament.

Porter didn’t play in Thursday’s dramatic 114-112 win over the Hornets on Thursday. It was his first healthy scratch since the Nuggets were in Brooklyn on Dec. 8th. “I think (it’s) for the betterment, for himself, I think it’s good for him because he knows we need him, and if he’s not locked in, the team struggles,” Millsap said. “We need him locked in. I think he’s understanding it, and he’s taking it a little bit better than he would, per se, at the beginning of the year, but still a work in progress, and he’s still learning.”
Duvalier Johnson: Paul Millsap WILL play tonight for the #Nuggets against Golden State. Head coach Michael Malone said he was heading in the right direction prior to the game.
Michael Singer: Malone says Nuggets are being cautious with Will Barton. He said it might be a knee thing “similar to Paul.” Also said it might’ve just been a result of “overuse.” Doesn’t sound like he’ll play Friday vs. OKC.
Harrison Wind: Will Barton (right knee inflammation) is listed as ‘Out’ tonight against the Suns. So are Michael Porter Jr. and Mason Plumlee. Jerami Grant, Paul Millsap and new acquisition Jordan McRae are all expected to play.
Harrison Wind: Nuggets have upgraded Paul Millsap to probable for Saturday’s matchup against the Suns. New acquisition Jordan McRae (right ankle sprain) is also probable. Jerami Grant is questionable. Michael Porter Jr, Mason Plumlee remain out. Millsap (knee) has missed Denver’s last 16 games.
Katy Winge: NEW NUGGETS INJURY UPDATE: Will Barton III added to the list – questionable with right knee inflammation. Jerami Grant – Right ankle sprain (last night) questionable. MPJ upgraded to doubtful. Mason Plumlee out. Paul Millsap out.
Kane Pitman: As Giannis indicated earlier, he is available for tonight. Donte DiVincenzo and George Hill are both out for Milwaukee. Denver will be without Gary Harris, Jamal Murray, Paul Millsap, Mason Plumlee and Adequate Sleep.
Harrison Wind: Gary Harris (personal reasons) will not play tonight against the Jazz. Jamal Murray, Paul Millsap and Mason Plumlee are also out.
Paul Millsap looked like he’d seen a ghost. It was only moments earlier that reports spread around the Nuggets locker room that NBA legend Kobe Bryant died Sunday in a helicopter crash. The Associated Press reported just before Sunday’s 1:30 p.m. tip that Bryant and four others died in the wreck. “Are you (expletive) me?” Millsap said. He could’ve been speaking for any of the handful of players in the Nuggets’ locker room.
NBA All-Star and Denver Nuggets player Paul Millsap has teamed up with PGA REACH, the nonprofit arm of the PGA of America, to help bring diversity to the game of golf. It was announced Wednesday that Millsap is the first-appointed ambassador for PGA WORKS, a PGA REACH initiative designed to create a pipeline for diverse talent to gain access to career opportunities in the golf industry.
Millsap will also launch a golf academy under the umbrella of CORE4, a prep academy school and state-of-the-art basketball training facility that he co-founded with his three brothers in Atlanta. Through the CORE4 golf academy, students will be exposed to careers in the golf workforce and pathways to PGA membership. According to the power forward, the mission of PGA WORKS “aligns perfectly” with the CORE4 mantra: “the power of 4: character, community, commitment and competition.”
Harrison Wind: Jamal Murray (left ankle sprain), Paul Millsap (left knee contusion/sprain), and Mason Plumlee (right cuboid injury) are all out tomorrow against the Rockets. Gary Harris (right adductor strain) has been upgraded to doubtful.

Michael Singer: Michael Malone said Jamal Murray would be out for the “foreseeable future.” He, Gary Harris and Paul Millsap didn’t make the trip to San Francisco.
The uptick in playing time has tested Porter’s commitment to recovery, an element of his approach that was always going to be vital once he began playing again after nearly two full years away from the court. “It’s something my parents have always really stressed,” Porter said. “I grew up vegetarian because my mom was always really health aware, but seeing how these guys recover — especially the older guys like Paul Millsap, and Isaiah Thomas when he was here — whether they play good or bad, their routine stays the same. I try to take a lot of that from them and just try to take care of my body in order to be ready to go every game.”
Michael Singer: Gary Harris (right adductor strain) is questionable for tomorrow’s game vs. Hornets. Jamal Murray (back soreness) is also questionable. Paul Millsap (knee contusion/ strain) is still out. With all the bumps and bruises, #Nuggets are recalling P.J. Dozier.
Harrison Wind: Paul Millsap (left knee contusion) will not play tomorrow vs. the Cavs. It will be the second-straight game Millsap has missed and the fourth game out of Denver’s last eight that he’s sat for.
Harrison Wind: Michael Malone says Paul Millsap (left knee contusion) missing games over the last two weeks has been “precautionary” and that Denver won’t rush him back. “He and Jamal collided in the Minnesota game and it’s just not going away. There’s swelling in there, some discomfort…”
Michael Singer: Paul Millsap (knee) is out along with Will Barton (personal). Nuggets going to be severely undermanned tonight.
Cayleigh Griffin: Gary Harris is out for the Nuggets. Paul Millsap has been upgraded from questionable to available.
Nuggets standing pat?
And what seems even more clear as Jokic wades deep into his third season of playing alongside Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, Will Barton and Paul Millsap is that any move shaking up Denver’s starters appears increasingly unlikely — and unwarranted. In conversations with numerous people around the team, there has been a strong sense of optimism about where Denver sits. No one thinks this team has hit its stride just yet. But Jokic has returned to MVP candidate form, players like Harris are finding their footing, and shots have largely begun to fall.
Michael Singer: Gary Harris and Paul Millsap are both questionable for tomorrow’s game at Houston. Again, neither was expected to be a serious concern.
Harrison Wind: Paul Millsap will not play today vs. Grizzlies.
