Millsap provided 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal during Thursday's 101-96 loss to Salt Lake City.

Elijah Millsap: Waived by Suns
Millsap was waived by the Suns over the weekend, ArizonaSports.com reports.
Millsap saw action in just two preseason games and with the Suns fairly stacked with bodies on the wing, there was no reason to keep Millsap on the final roster. He'll likely open the season in the G-League, which isn't anything new for him, as Millsap averaged an impressive 19.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.1 steals across 50 games with the Northern Arizona Suns last year.

Suns' Elijah Millsap: Scores five points
Millsap recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over seven minutes during Wednesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers.
Millsap hasn't played more than 10 minutes in a preseason game this year. The 30-year-old currently sits behind Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker on the shooting guard depth chart and will likely be stuck at the end of the bench during the regular season.

Suns' Elijah Millsap: Inks contract with Phoenix
Millsap will sign a multi-year contract Sunday with the Suns, with the deal guaranteed for the remainder of the season, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
With the Suns already eliminated from the playoffs, Millsap will be brought in over the final two games for evaluation purposes. The 6-foot-6 wing, who played for the organization's D-League affiliate, the Northern Arizona Suns, earlier this season, is unlikely to see significant minutes off the bench during his time with the team. Millsap last appeared in the NBA withe Jazz, averaging 1.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in 8.7 minutes per game over 20 appearances in 2015-16.

Elijah Millsap: Waived by Jazz
Millsap was waived by the Jazz on Tuesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Millsap's three-year contract was scheduled to become guarantee on Thursday, so the Jazz decided to part with the swingman before having to pay up. Brother of All-Star forward Paul Millsap, Eljah averaged 4.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 16 minutes per game through 67 games with the Jazz the past two seasons. Millsap has spent time with Thunder, Lakers, and Bucks in addition to the Jazz.

Jazz's Elijah Millsap: Stuck on pine
Millsap received a DNP-CD for Wednesday's game against Golden State.
Millsap actually played in seven straight games leading up to Wednesday but coach Quin Snyder tightened up his rotation against the Warriors, leaving the second-year pro on the bench. With only 16 outings at nine minutes per game, Millsap is only a viable option in the very deepest of formats.

Jazz's Elijah Millsap: Seeing minutes off bench
Millsap scored four points (2-5 FG) to go with three assists and two rebounds over 16 minutes in Monday's 118-81 loss to the Spurs.
Though the Spurs turned Monday's game into a rout in the early going, Millsap has been seeing an uptick in playing time over the last several games, as he seems to have moved ahead of Joe Ingles in the rotation. Millsap showed some glimpses of potential when he saw heavier minutes a season ago, but with the Jazz's primary wing players (Gordon Hayward, Rodney Hood, and Alec Burks) all enjoying relatively sound health this season, there might not be much more room for Millsap's role to grow.

Jazz's Elijah Millsap: No playing time afforded
Millsap did not receive any minutes Monday against the Warriors.
The 28-year-old has only participated in one out of the Jazz's last five games and could continue to ride the bench in the season ahead as he is deep in the depth charts.

Utah Jazz's Elijah Millsap Plays 25 minutes Wednesday
Millsap came off the bench for 25 minutes in Wednesday's preseason game against the Lakers to contribute eight points, six rebounds, one assist, and one steal.
Millsap seems to be in line for a limited role off the bench this coming season after having a breakout rookie campaign last year under coach Quin Snyder. Barring unexpected injuries to Gordon Hayward, Joe Ingles, and Rodney Hood, Millsap will likely struggle finding relevancy in standard-sized leagues.
