Last Summer, former Kentucky Wildcats forward Darius Miller suffered an Achilles tear that forced him to sit out. Due to the injury, Miller hasn’t played in an NBA game since the 2018-19 season and wasn’t expected to be playing at all in 2019-2020.
Miller signed a 2-year $14 million extension with the New Orleans Pelicans roughly a month before he suffered the injury.
On Friday, Miller spoke with the media for the first time since he suffered the injury. With the NBA planning to return to action on July 30th, it is still unclear if Miller will be joining the rest of the Pelicans in Orlando as he is taking his rehab “day-by-day.
