SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap has left a game against the Sacramento Kings in the third quarter with a knee injury. He will not return.
Millsap, who had 12 points and seven rebounds Saturday night, went to the locker room with 4:48 remaining in the quarter. He was diagnosed with a strained left patella tendon.
The power forward had left earlier in the period to get a brace refitted, but just more than a minute later he signaled to the bench that he couldn’t continue.
