In the early hours of Wednesday, July 3, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that free agent forward and resident three-point specialist Darius Miller has re-signed with the Pelicans on a two-year deal. Bobby Marks, also of ESPN, noted that the multi-year deal had to extend past a single season in order for New Orleans to utilize the early bird provision and exceed the cap to keep the veteran sharpshooter aboard.
Most of Miller’s contributions have come from beyond the three-point line since his return to the NBA and New Orleans for the 2017-18 season.
