What Is Next For Clippers and Projecting Clippers Rotation When Healthy
Once Banton’s contract expires, the Clippers will likely sign Jordan Miller to a multi-year deal. Like Sanders, Miller has been expected to have his two-way deal converted to a standard deal.
Miller was injured early in the season, so he still has 18 games of eligibility on a two-way deal. Miller is having the best season of his career and, more importantly, has been very efficient. The 26-year-old wing averages 9.3 points and 3.3 rebounds along with 1.6 assists with shooting splits of 53.0/36.5/79.2. He has scored in double-figures in 13 of his 30 appearances, topping the 20-point mark four times, and produced one double-double.
Miller is a capable scorer who is at his best when slashing to the basket, whether off the dribble or cutting. Miller doesn’t make many mistakes as a decision-maker and is solid as a defender.
When Miller is promoted, the Clippers will have a pair of open two-way spots. 6-foot point guard Jaelen House and Jahmyl Telfort, who was on a two-way deal earlier this season with the Clippers, are the two most worthy players currently playing with the San Diego Clippers.
Clippers Injury Report
Garland, Mathurin, and Isaiah Jackson are out for the game against the Timberwolves, but not due to injury. All three players are expected to make their season debut on Tuesday at Houston. The Clippers also play the Rockets in Houston on Wednesday.
When whole, Garland and Mathurin will anchor the backcourt. Meanwhile, John Collins and Brook Lopez will likely join Kawhi Leonard upfront. That means Derrick Jones Jr., Kris Dunn, and Jackson will be the first three players off the bench for Ty Lue. Miller would be the ninth player,r with Nic Batum and Sanders likely seeing sparse minutes.
