Miller will be available Friday against the Celtics, James Ham of Cowbell Kingdom reports. |
Miller will come off the bench Friday assuming he plays, with Ray McCallum receiving the start in place of the injured Darren Collison (hip). The Kings also have David Stockton on a ten-game contract, and the two will likely both factor into the minutes left over from McCallum. |

Miller was traded to the Kings on Thursday in exchange for Ramon Sessions, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports. |
Miller, 38, has appeared in 51 games this season but is averaging a career-low 3.6 points in 12.4 minutes (also a career-low). He's been an effective floor general, but his style of play tends to slow down offenses, which is likely part of the reason Washington opted to acquire Sessions. Miller, who will be reunited with former-coach George Karl, will slot in as the second or third point guard and will compete with Ray McCallum for minutes off the bench. |

Miller missed all four of his attempted shots Wednesday in a loss to the Thunder, and was held scoreless for his third consecutive game despite picking up four rebounds and two assists in nine minutes. |
John Wall has been dominating the Wizards' minutes at point guard. Miller has now been held scoreless in six of his 12 games this month. Miller is a fine veteran backup point guard, but he's averaging just 13.1 minutes this month and isn't a fantasy option unless John Wall sustains an injury. |

Miller had 12 points (6-10 FG), three assists, two rebounds, a steal and a turnover over 17 minutes in Tuesday's 98-83 win over the Knicks. |
Miller played 10, 11 and 10 minutes in the first three games, but he got a bit more run Tuesday because of his strong play. The Wizards almost always have Miller or John Wall on the floor, but rarely both, which leaves little playing time for the veteran. |

Miller averaged 4.6 points and 4.3 assists over 19 minutes in seven preseason appearances. |
Miller's solid preseason probably won't impact his playing time, as he's still just the backup to John Wall, who averaged 36.3 minutes last season. Miller would likely see a huge leap in minutes if Wall were to suffer an injury, and the veteran might benefit from the occasional two-point guard lineup while the Wizards deal with a slew of injuries at shooting guard early in the season. |
Thu Jul 17 2014 | 09:23 | Wizards pick up Andre Miller's 2014-15 option |
The Washington Wizards have picked up Andre Miller's 2014-15 option. |
The team option is for $4.6 million this season and will allow the Wizards to retain the veteran to back up John Wall. Miller averaged 14.6 minutes with Washington after coming over in a trade from the Nuggets on February 20, but the plan is to increase his minutes this season in order to keep John Wall fresh. The 38-year-old only averaged 3.8 points and 3.5 assists with Washington last season, however, so his 2014-15 value to fantasy owners won't match his value to the Wizards. |

Fri Jun 27 2014 | 18:09 | Wizards will pick up option on Andre Miller |
The Wizards notified Andre Miller on Friday that he will be retained via the $4.6 million option on his contract for the 2014-15 season. |
This was an expected move as the 38-year-old veteran has embraced his mentor role with John Wall, and he can still serve as a solid backup point guard. However, with regards to fantasy appeal, this is a move that will benefit the Wizards squad much more than a fantasy team as Miller averaged just 3.8 points and 3.5 assists in 15 minutes off the bench for Washington. |

Thu Jun 26 2014 | 21:40 | Wizards leaning toward keeping Andre Miller |
The Wizards are "leaning toward" picking up Andre Miller's $4.6 million team option next season, according to beat writer Michael Lee. |
Miller's contract is only guaranteed for $2 million but the Wizards must decide by Saturday whether to keep him or waive him. He proved to be a valuable asset for Washington last season, particularly in the playoffs when his steady leadership provided a solid counter-punch when John Wall was on the bench. Just don't expect fantasy value from the 38-year-old veteran, who attempted 0.1 threes per game with the Wizards last season. |

Sun Mar 23 2014 | 10:33 | Andre Miller to make return to DEN on Sunday |
Andre Miller opened up in a recent interview as to what went wrong between him and Nuggets coach Brian Shaw. |
"For everybody on the team to get in the game and the team is losing and I'm over there sitting down and didn't get a chance to contribute, that's what I was upset about. That's what I took personal," said Miller. Miller will make his first return to Denver on Sunday following the ugly divorce, however, now just a backup point guard averaging 14 minutes a game, he has absolutely no fantasy appeal. |

Sat Feb 22 2014 | 22:32 | Andre Miller plays 16 minutes in Wiz debut |
Andre Miller played 16 minutes off the bench and hit 1-of-3 shots for five points, three rebounds and three assists in his Wizards debut on Saturday. |
They just want him to give them 20 solid minutes a night while backing up John Wall, so there's no reason to think he'll do much in terms of fantasy value with the Wizards. |

Fri Feb 21 2014 | 16:07 | Andre Miller will debut with the Wizards |
Andre Miller will make his Wizards debut on Saturday against the Pelicans. |
It will be his first game of 2014 after a falling out with former coach Brian Shaw. Miller is likely just going to be a veteran presence on the team and it would be a surprise to see him match his season average of 19.0 minutes per game. |

Thu Feb 20 2014 | 13:06 | Miller to WAS, Vesely to DEN, Maynor to PHI |
Andre Miller was traded to the Wizards in a three-team deal on Thursday. |
The Nuggets will receive Jan Vesely and the Sixers get Eric Mayor and two second-round picks. Miller and former coach Brian Shaw had a falling out earlier this year after the coach gave him a DNP-CD and the team has been trying to deal him since. He'll act more of a mentor than anything and has very little fantasy value. |

Thu Feb 20 2014 | 12:12 | Wizards in the mix for Andre Miller |
The Wizards have joined the chase for Andre Miller and are believed to be co-leaders with the Timberwolves. |
It's hard to imagine teams being so drawn to Miller after he quit on his team, but the Wizards really need a backup point guard with Eric Maynor not working out. The Timberwolves need to deal J.J. Barea to bring on Miller, so the Wizards might be the favorite. There isn't much fantasy implication here. |

Tue Feb 18 2014 | 00:39 | Wolves interested in Andre Miller |
The Timberwolves are reportedly interested in Andre Miller, according to ESPN.com. |
The interest is contingent on J.J. Barea getting shipped at the deadline. The Wolves have been reportedly been trying to deal Barea since all the way back to the summer, so it's still a bit unlikely they can get anything done. |

Sun Feb 16 2014 | 10:09 | Report: Andre Miller will not return to DEN |
Andre Miller has no desire to return to the Denver Nuggets, a source told Yahoo Sports on Saturday. |
The Nuggets were attempting to mend the relationship with their veteran point guard, but the relationship is reportedly beyond repair. Miller wants nothing to do with the Nuggets organization, which makes a trade by the February 20 deadline more likely. Wherever Miller lands, he will be in a backup point guard role, and it will be difficult for him to muster much fantasy value. |

Mon Feb 3 2014 | 21:21 | Report: Andre Miller excused from the team |
Nuggets coach Brian Shaw said that Andre Miller has been excused from the team and that it's on him to reestablish communication. |
"If there's any reaching out that needs to be done, the reaching out has to come from him," Shaw said. "At this point, we're still trying to evaluate the situation. The guys that are here are going to be our concern. It's something I've completely taken myself out of. Whatever happens will be dealt with between him, his agent and the front office." It doesn't sound like these two will be swapping Christmas cards anytime soon, and Miller can be ignored for fantasy purposes. |

Thu Jan 30 2014 | 16:24 | Andre Miller could return to Nuggets' lineup? |
Nuggets coach Brian Shaw will consider returning Andre Miller to the lineup on Friday. |
Nate Robinson (knee) has been ruled out and Ty Lawson (shoulder) is questionable, so it makes sense for Denver to at least think about dusting off their disgruntled veteran PG. Miller hasn't so much as spoken with Shaw since their confrontation on Jan. 1, which led to Miller's being sent away from the team and unsuccessfully shopped around in trade talks. Even if he does return to Shaw's good graces, Miller isn't a fantasy option. |

Fri Jan 10 2014 | 02:54 | Andre Miller could return to lineup soon? |
Andre Miller could return to the Nuggets lineup soon. |
The Nuggets have likely exhausted their possible trade partners and look to have come up empty. Miller and coach Brian Shaw could patch things up. "I'm willing to coach anybody on our roster that's willing to play and do what the best thing is for the team, whatever role that is," Shaw said. The Nuggets are 4-0 without Miller, so Shaw might be even less inclined to play the veteran point guard. |

Mon Jan 6 2014 | 17:47 | The Kings are in talks for Andre Miller |
The Kings have "been proactive in talks" for Andre Miller. |
There are more teams in pursuit and it sounds like Miller is going to be gone at some point in the near future. This is the second time the Kings have come up while the Warriors are another possibility. Miller can be left on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues, but Randy Foye and Nate Robinson both have emerged as fantasy options in some deeper leagues based on the last two games. |
