Correction 2026-07-18: minutes raised from 12.0 to 17.0 and the counting line re-scaled. The earlier figure halved the role of a returning rotation wing without a cited basis. He played 22.1 MPG in 2025-26 with 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists on .531/.345/.777, and LA re-signed him in July to three years and $15.3M with the first year fully guaranteed — a team paying to keep a role, not to shed one. The Hachimura and Wagler additions justify a cut from 22.1, not a cut to 12. Hoops Rumors, 2026-07-10
Fantasy translation
- Nine-category: rank 175-215 in the base role; efficiency and low turnovers prevent harm but do not win categories.
- Points: deep-league watchlist; his all-around line becomes useful near 25 minutes.
- Dynasty: rank 140-200. Hashtag placed him 166th, a market bet that last season's 22-minute role can return — a bet this desk now partly shares. Hashtag
Role and scenarios
- Low: Leonard stays and Mathurin returns, pushing Miller to sporadic appearances.
- Base: 17 minutes as the second wing across both perimeter forward spots, with extra work on rest nights.
- High: the trade closes, Mathurin leaves and Miller returns to 24 minutes with roughly 10/3/2.
Hamstring, ankle and back issues interrupted 2025-26. The contract improves roster security, not health or rotation certainty. Official Clippers game notes

Career record
Pre-NBA: Five college seasons. Three at George Mason — 10.4 points as a freshman pressed into starting by injuries, 12.7 and 5.3 as a sophomore, 15.8 as a junior with third-team All-Atlantic 10 — then two at Miami, where he was a 10.0-point, 5.9-rebound complementary piece in 2021-22 before a 15.3-point, 6.2-rebound, 2.7-assist, 1.2-steal fifth year that made him second-team All-ACC and carried Miami to a Final Four. His Elite Eight line against Texas was 7-for-7 from the field and 13-for-13 from the line, the second such game in NCAA tournament history. Draft: 2023, second round, 48th overall, LA Clippers.

Durability: 8, 37 and 60 games, with the games total limited by contract status as much as health in the first two years — he was on a two-way from August 2023, waived in July 2025, re-signed to another two-way that month, and only converted to a standard deal on February 18, 2026. The 22 games missed in 2025-26 were front-loaded: a hamstring cost him the first ten, a low-back problem took most of the next stretch, and he played four of the Clippers' first 25 games. He was available almost continuously after that, missing one late game to a back flare-up.
Trajectory: Three straight years of doubled minutes ending in a genuine rotation role, and the efficiency held while the workload grew — 53.1% from the field at 22 minutes is the most encouraging thing in the file. The limits are just as clear: 0.6 threes on 34.5% means he is not a floor spacer, and the assist and steal rates are useful without being category-winning. LA paid three years and $15.3 million to keep him, which is a vote for the role, but Rui Hachimura and the returning wings argue the 22.1 minutes were partly an artifact of an injury-thinned roster. He is a deep-league hold who becomes streamable at 25-plus minutes, which requires a Kawhi Leonard absence or a wing trade — the two things most likely to happen on this roster.

Open questions
- Is Miller ahead of Sanders because of on-ball versatility, or behind him because of shooting?
- Are the hamstring and back fully stable?
- How many wings remain after the held trade and Mathurin decision?
