OKC Thunder: Darius Miller nearing return from Achilles injury

Darius Miller was an under-the-radar acquisition for the Thunder this offseason, partly because he missed all of last season after undergoing surgery in August 2019 for a ruptured right Achilles tendon.

But the 6-foot-6 veteran wing is nearing the end of his rehab process, and he anticipates being ready to play by the start of the season.

"I'm feeling pretty good," Miller said Thursday. "Unfortunately with COVID I haven't had a chance to play a lot, but the team's working with me, and they've got me going at a pretty good pace."

Miller is one of four former Pelicans the Thunder received in the trade that sent Steven Adams to New Orleans.
