Miller will play in Germany next season for Brose Baskets, Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders reports. |
Miller spent most of the last three seasons in New Orleans but saw his tenure with the Pelicans end in November of last year once he was waived by the team. His move to Europe renders him insignificant for fantasy purposes, although he was already teetering on that edge during his limited playing time stateside. |
Wed Jan 14 2015 | 18:19 | The Clippers opted not to sign Miller to 10-day contract |
The Clippers opted not to sign Miller to a 10-day contract, the Los Angeles Times reports. |
After being released by the Pelicans last month, Miller returned home to Kentucky to work out privately. That may not have been his wisest decision, as the Clippers decided during Tuesday's workout that Miller was not in sufficient game shape. "If he had come in great [shape], we probably still would have waited just to try to get him in basketball shape," coach Doc Rivers said. "I'm sure that's what he's going to do." While the Clippers moved on and signed veteran Dahntay Jones to a 10-day deal Wednesday, Rivers left door open, stating that the Clippers may consider signing Miller later in the season. |
Tue Jan 13 2015 | 17:46 | Miller has signed 10-day contract with Clippers |
Miller has signed a 10-day contract with the Clippers, Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reports. |
He was waived by the Pelicans back in November, but will offer depth to the Clippers' main weak spot -- the wing. Matt Barnes should continue to start, but Miller figures to be just as likely as Chris Douglas-Roberts or Reggie Bullock to see minutes off the bench at the three. |
Sun Nov 30 2014 | 17:46 | Miller waived by Pelicans on Sunday |
Miller was waived by the Pelicans on Sunday. |
The Pelicans opted to waive both Miller and Patric Young on Sunday, freeing up a pair of roster spots. Miller appeared in only five games on the season, averaging 8.6 minutes in those contests. The 2012 second-rounder is a solid shooter and defender and should draw mild interest around the league as a free agent. |

Miller received a DNP Friday against the Hawks a game after starting in place of the injured Eric Gordon. |
Miller was shut out in his start against the Kings, missing all three of the shots he attempted. Instead, Austin Rivers started Friday but he missed all eight of his attempts. The Pelicans certainly have a conundrum at shooting guard now with Gordon out. Tyreke Evans slid over to small forward Friday to let Rivers start, but after his terrible night, Evans could move back over to guard and Miller could see some playing time once again. |

Miller earned the start in place of Eric Gordon, but was shut out of the box score with the exception of three missed shots and three personal fouls. |
Miller played only 14 minutes, with Luke Babbitt, John Salmons and Jimmer Fredette joining the rotation as well. However, that trio combined to shoot just 2-for-7, failing to do much to impress. Austin Rivers, who scored eight points and added three rebounds, stands to gain the most with Gordon sidelined. |

Miller will likely move into the starting lineup Tuesday against the Kings, Nakia Hogan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. |
With Eric Gordon (shoulder) slated to miss a good chunk of time, Miller is the top candidate to move into the starting five at small forward, as Tyreke Evans shifts to shooting guard. The Kentucky product has played sparingly this season, appearing in four games and playing double-digit minutes in only one of those contests. |
Tue Nov 11 2014 | 14:06 | Miller returned to practice Tuesday |
Miller returned to practice Tuesday, Nakia Hogan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. |
Miller was home with family for the past week following the birth of his daughter, who was born Thursday. Miller will likely be available for Wednesday's game, though he isn't much of a fantasy contributor, having played just four total minutes this season. |
Sat Nov 8 2014 | 13:02 | Miller (personal) remains on team's inactive list Saturday |
Miller (personal) remains on the team's inactive list Saturday, NBA.com's Jim Eichenhofer reports. |
He is still at home with his family after the birth of his daughter, and should return to the team next week. |
Tue Nov 4 2014 | 18:35 | Miller out Tuesday with personal issue |
Miller is out Tuesday with a personal issue, the Times-Picayune's Nakia Hogan reports. |
It's not clear what the nature of the personal issue is, but Miller should be considered day-to-day. |

Miller is starting his second consecutive preseason game at small forward Monday in Atlanta, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. |
With Tyreke Evans recovering from a right hamstring strain, Miller is getting the nod at small forward in order to gain more experience with the starting five. In Saturday's exhibition opener, Miller managed eight points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and three boards in 32 minutes. |

Miller started at small forward in Saturday night's preseason opener against the Heat, logging eight points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and three rebounds in 32 minutes of play. |
Miller is competing with Luke Babbitt and John Salmons for minutes at small forward this season. Of the three, both Miller and Babbitt are primarily known for their outside shooting ability. While Miller started Saturday, he struggled from the field, especially from three-point range. Conversely, Babbitt finished with 15 points on five made three-pointers. |
Thu Oct 2 2014 | 16:09 | Miller in competition to start at small forward this season |
Miller is in competition to start at small forward this season, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. |
The third-year Kentucky product started seven of the 45 games in which he played last season and will compete with John Salmons and Luke Babbitt throughout the preseason for the starting nod. At 6-8, 225, Miller has excellent size, but he's fairly inexperienced and is not a great passer or rebounder. This competition will be something to keep an eye on throughout the month of October, though it's quite possible all three players will share the workload when the regular season rolls around. |
Fri Jul 25 2014 | 11:12 | Darius Miller signs with the Pelicans |
Pelicans sign G/F Darius Miller. |
The terms of the contract are not disclosed, but it's likely a short-term deal. Miller actually played some point guard for the Pelicans while they were devastated by injuries in March, which may have helped him get a contract. He'll likely start the season out of the rotation. |

Fri Jul 18 2014 | 09:08 | UFA Darius Miller agrees to re-sign with NOLA |
Unrestricted free agent Darius Miller has reportedly agreed to re-sign with the Pelicans. |
Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. Miller was the No. 46 pick in the 2012 draft, and he averaged 4.4 points, and 1.2 rebounds through 45 games last season. He is not on the fantasy radar. |

Mon Apr 14 2014 | 23:43 | MIller scores 10 points w/ well-stocked line |
Darius Miller scored 10 points on 4-of-12 shooting (including two threes) with three rebounds, five assists and four steals over 37 minutes in Monday's win over the Thunder. |
Miller has been well-worth starting over the last week with averages of 12.0 points, 1.3 treys, 3.5 assists and 2.3 steals while hitting 45 percent of his shots in his last four contests. There is no body of work for owners to hang their hats on, and Austin Rivers' early ejections helped create some touches, but Miller is worth fantasy consideration in all formats for Wednesday. |

Sat Apr 12 2014 | 00:57 | Miller scores career-high 18 points in loss |
Darius Miller scored a career-high 18 points in Friday's loss, hitting 7-of-13 shots (including two threes) with zero rebounds, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes. |
Miller doesn't exactly have a fantasy friendly game but he could be poised to play in the ballpark of the 31 minutes he got tonight. He's worth a look as the NBA's silly season rages on. |

Wed Apr 9 2014 | 23:33 | Darius Miller drops 14 points in loss to PHX |
Darius Miller played 31 minutes vs. the Suns on Wednesday with 14 points, two boards, two assists, two steals and one 3-pointer. |
The Pelicans have to play Tyreke Evans at shooting guard and Al-Farouq Aminu at power forward, so the minutes at small forward are Miller's for the taking. Still, his two previous starts were not good ones, averaging 4.5 points, 1.0 boards and 1.5 triples. He's only a desperation play right now. |

Thu Mar 27 2014 | 01:02 | Darius Miller scores 16 points off the bench |
Darius Miller scored 16 points on 7-of-9 from the field against the Clippers on Wednesday for 16 points with one board, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer. |
He played some point guard tonight and said after the game that it was the first time he's done so since kindergarten. While it's a cool story to see him succeed tonight, Miller will likely fade into the background again this weekend with the Pelicans likely to get some players back. |

Sun Jan 12 2014 | 01:18 | Darius Miller scores season-high 12 points |
Darius Miller scored a season-high 12 points vs. the Mavericks in a 110-107 loss with one assist, one steal and four 3-pointers in 19 minutes. |
He shot 4-of-5 from the field and this was his second consecutive game in which he's played 19 minutes. The Pelicans have been using Miller at small forward while sliding Al-Farouq Aminu over to the four, but his fantasy value is going to be very low even with the team in dire straits for offensive options. |
