Atlanta Hawks All-Star forward Paul Millsap will miss at least the next two games with a knee injury, reports Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said Millsap will miss Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls and Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Millsap suffered a right knee contusion in Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons and missed a game the next night against the New York Knicks.

The Hawks (26-29) are the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference but have gone 2-8 in their past 10 games.
