Overview
- The Los Angeles Clippers announced Wednesday, August 26, 2026, that Miller had surgery to repair a torn left rotator cuff sustained during an offseason workout and that he will be reevaluated in about six months.
- A six-month reevaluation timeline means Miller is unlikely to return before the All-Star break and his full 2026–27 season could be in jeopardy depending on rehab progress.
- Miller broke out in 2025–26 after a promotion from a two-way deal, averaging 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 22.1 minutes across 60 games.
- His new three-year, $15.3 million restricted free-agent contract is fully guaranteed only for year one, with the 2027–28 salary non-guaranteed and a 2028–29 team option, which raises questions about roster and financial decisions if recovery is slow.
- Miller’s loss trims the Clippers’ wing depth left by other offseason moves and injuries, so expect the team to lean on remaining wing options and monitor Miller’s rehab timeline as a key factor for rotation planning.
