Bob Miller, the voice of the Kings, will return with a reduced schedule

Bob Miller, the Kings’ Hall of Fame broadcaster, will be back on the team’s telecasts this season — but with a lightened workload.

The Kings on Monday announced that Miller, who underwent quadruple bypass surgery in early February, will return for his 44th season but is scheduled to call only 58 games — including all home games — plus any first-round playoff games. Miller will be 78 on Oct. 12, the day of the Kings’ season opener. His first assignment this season will be an Oct. 7 exhibition game at Las Vegas.

In a news release, the Kings said they will announce at a later date which games Miller will miss and who will do the play-by-play alongside analyst Jim Fox.
