Mike Miller: Accepts college coaching position
Mike Miller has accepted a position as an assistant coach at the University of Memphis for the 2018-19 season, likely spelling an end to his playing career, Gary Parrish of CBS Sports reports.Miller never officially announced his retirement from professional basketball, but it was widely believed that his career reached its conclusion after he was waived by the Nuggets last July and subsequently went unsigned prior to the start of NBA training camps. The 38-year-old spent 17 years in the league with the Magic, Grizzlies, Timberwolves, Wizards, Heat, Cavaliers and Nuggets, taking home Rookie of the Year honors in 2000-01 with Orlando, Sixth Man of the Year honors in 2006-07 with Memphis and two NBA titles with Miami in 2012 and 2013. He enjoyed his longest and most productive run in the league during his two stints with the Grizzlies and has set down permanent roots in Memphis, so it's not surprising that he'll remain local as he transitions into the coaching ranks.

Mike Miller: Waived by Nuggets
Mike Miller was waived by the Nuggets on Tuesday.Miller, a 37-year-old NBA veteran, made just 20 appearances with the Nuggets last season, posting 1.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 7.6 minutes per game -- his second straight season in the single-digit minute range. He largely saw time when the Nuggets had injuries piled up. There's no word right now on whether Miller plans to retire, but his time of playing a full season with rotational minutes is likely long gone.

Nuggets' Mike Miller: Flirts with triple-double
Mike Miller contributed eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 29 minutes during a 109-91 win over the Mavericks on Tuesday.Miller, who hadn't played more than 12 minutes in a game all season, was stunningly on his way toward messing around and getting a triple-double Tuesday as a result of the team resting a large portion of its roster. Miller could see a similar workload in the team's finale Wednesday, but a similar line isn't likely. A few three-pointers are possible, though.

Nuggets' Mike Miller: Still outside of rotation
Mike Miller (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in a 121-117 win over the Bucks on Friday.Miller has appeared in only one of the Denver Nuggets' last seven games, and as has been the case all season, it looks unlikely that he'll emerge as a rotation player for coach Michael Malone. The veteran sharpshooter remains under contract with the Nuggets through the end of next season, but at this point, it's fair to say he's settled into a role as a de facto assistant coach.

Nuggets' Mike Miller: Back with team
Mike Miller (personal) rejoined the Denver Nuggets at Tuesday's practice, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.Miller was away from the team for roughly two weeks while attending to a personal matter, but he was back at practice Tuesday and is expected to be available Wednesday against Miami. The 36-year-old is not a part of Denver's regular rotation, however, so it's unlikely that he'll make a significant on-court impact in 2016-17.
