Paul Millsap has entered the NBA's COVID-19 protocol.

The 36-year-old signed with the Nets over the offseason, and has averaged 3.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 11.7 minutes per game this season on 35.5 percent shooting.

Millsap put up his highest point totals of the seasons in two of the Nets' last five games -- he dropped 13 points on Dec. 4 against the Chicago Bulls, and put up 10 points against the Rockets in Houston on Wednesday.

With the four-time All-Star out, Blake Griffin could continue to see an uptick in minutes. After he got knocked out of the rotation and was a DNP for six straight contests, he has seen the floor in two of Brooklyn's last three games.
