Jordan Miller, a second-round pick in 2023, has been getting consistent playing time in the last six games for the Los Angeles Clippers, largely due to various injuries within the team. During this stretch, the two-way player has been averaging 8.2 points per game.
“I’m trying to leave a good impression because I don’t know what it’s going to look like when (Norman Powell) gets back,” Miller told Janis Carr of the Orange County Register. “But they can see that I’m a solid player, and if anything ever goes wrong (injuries) or if we need a spark, Coach will be more confident in me moving forward versus me not playing.”
Miller has used this opportunity to prove his value, showing his capability to step up when needed. He understands the competition for minutes will intensify once Powell returns, but he is focused on making sure the coaching staff recognizes his potential, ensuring his role remains solid even as the roster gets healthier.
