New Orleans Pelicans: Darius Miller Hopes to Prove Himself in Orlando

Darius Miller has been working towards a comeback for the New Orleans Pelicans and hopes to contribute in the Orlando conclusion to the season.

When the New Orleans Pelicans signed Darius Miller to a two-year contract a year ago on this day, they thought he would be an important bench contributor.

Miller promptly injured himself just over a month later, and on August 29th, 2019 the Pels announced he would be out indefinitely with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Most thought this would be the end of Miller’s time with the Pelicans, as he was not set to return until the season took an unprecedented turn.
