The pain of Sunday’s Game 7 loss to Portland hadn’t yet subsided, but for Paul Millsap, the business of basketball called.
The Nuggets hold a $30 million team option on the veteran forward. It’s their most significant transactional decision of this upcoming offseason. Despite his diminished offensive role, Millsap was instrumental in helping lead the Nuggets deep into the second round of the playoffs.
Millsap, speaking during Monday’s exit interviews, said there have been no preliminary talks about his future and he wanted to take some time following the painful loss Sunday before thinking about what he might do next season.
