Miller contributed four points (2-3 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 103-87 loss to the Lakers.
Miller saw some garbage-time action on a night when none of the Clippers' starters reached the 30-minute mark. The rookie second-rounder could carve out a larger role in the frontcourt at some point down the line, but Isaiah Jackson and Brook Lopez should dominate the center minutes for the foreseeable future.

Rotowire
Miller totaled 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one block in 16 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 preseason loss to the Raptors.

Miller registered 15 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Sunday's 104-82 Las Vegas Summer League win over the Jazz.
Miller scored with remarkable efficiency, missing just two shots in 26 minutes while knocking down both of his free throws. The second-round pick is an intriguing seven-foot playmaker, but it may be difficult for him to carve out meaningful minutes in Los Angeles while Rui Hachimura, Brandon Ingram and Derrick Jones are healthy.
