Mon Jan 6 2014 | 08:51 | Nuggets actively looking to deal Andre Miller |
The Nuggets are actively trying to trade Andre Miller, according the Denver Post. |
Miller has clashed with Nuggets coach Brian Shaw in recent days and will remain away from the team. Randy Foye and Nate Robinson will continue to see additional minutes in Miller's absence. The Warrior and Kings have been mentioned as possible landing spots for Miller, who can remain on the waiver wire in standard fantasy leagues. |

Fri Jan 3 2014 | 19:18 | Nuggets will rescind Andre Miller suspension |
The Nuggets will rescind Andre Miller's two-game suspension but he will still be away from the team. |
The move is a nice gesture by the Nuggets to get Miller paid from two games. He won't play on Friday or Sunday for personal reasons. Miller is likely going to be traded with the Kings and Warriors popping up as the first two teams as possibilities. Randy Foye and Nate Robinson could get a few extra minutes this weekend. |

Thu Jan 2 2014 | 23:37 | Warriors and Kings interested in Andre Miller |
The Warriors and Kings are "intrigued by the idea" of acquiring Andre Miller. |
It makes a lot of sense with their respective backups being Toney Douglas and Jimmer Fredette. Miller is 38 and he really isn't capable of creating offense while he's a liability on defense, but he's a savvy veteran and would provide some depth should either Stephen Curry or Isaiah Thomas go down, respectively. Nothing is imminent and Miller can remain on the wire in almost all leagues. |

Thu Jan 2 2014 | 17:01 | Nuggets suspend Andre Miller for two games |
The Nuggets have suspended Andre Miller for two games for conduct detrimental to the team. |
Miller shouted at coach Brian Shaw during Wednesday's game, as he was unhappy following a rare DNP-CD. It was an uncharacteristic and unbecoming incident for the 38-year-old guard, who will sit out games on Friday and Sunday. Nate Robinson and Randy Foye will pick up a few extra minutes in his absence. |

Thu Jan 2 2014 | 05:41 | Andre Miller rips coach Brian Shaw |
Andre Miller yelled about the disrespect he felt during Wednesday's game for coach Brian Shaw sitting him out for the entire game. |
Coach Shaw basically confirmed the confrontation following the game. "There's a time and place for everything," Shaw said. "In the middle of the arena in front of everyone ... I just tried to calm it down." Conventional wisdoms suggests trade rumors aren't far behind here. Miller is going to turn 38 later this season and there are a few competitive teams that could use Miller's help for some bench depth. His upside won't be high enough to stash in almost any situation for fantasy purposes. Randy Foye and Nate Robinson would likely pick up a couple extra minutes, but it's not a enough to move the needle on them as pickups much. |

Thu Jan 2 2014 | 00:03 | Andre Miller gets DNP-CD from Brian Shaw |
Andre Miller didn't play on Wednesday due a coach's decision, giving him is first DNP of the season. |
He had played 17 or fewer minutes in seven of his eight previous games, and has now scored a total of six points over his last four. He was seen arguing on the bench with someone and had to be restrained, and it looks like the wheels may be coming off in Denver, as tonight's loss to the Sixers gives them eight straight. |

Tue Dec 24 2013 | 02:35 | Miller posts 14-4-8 line in loss to GSW |
Andre Miller logged 30 minutes in Monday's loss to the Warriors, scoring 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting with four rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block. |
Perhaps Randy Foye (0-for-5 FGs) can continue to be this bad, but it's going to take a lot of help to make Miller into a viable fantasy asset. He's barely in the top-200 on the season. |

Mon Dec 9 2013 | 22:41 | Andre Miller can't hit a field goal in start |
Andre Miller couldn't make any of his five field goal attempts against the Wizards on Monday, scoring three points at the free throw line with one board, five assists and two steals in 22 minutes. |
He had four turnovers and was just overmatched tonight by John Wall on both ends. Miller is 37 years old and is one of the most durable players in the history of the NBA, but his best years are way behind him. He's only on the radar in deeper leagues even with Ty Lawson's status up in the air. |

Sat Dec 7 2013 | 21:49 | Andre Miller competent in fill-in start at PG |
Moving into the starting lineup with Ty Lawson (hamstring) sidelined, Andre Miller handed out seven assists with four rebounds, one steal and eight points to his credit on Saturday. |
He tied his season-high with 29 minutes played and should post similar numbers if Lawson isn't able to return on Monday. Give him a look if you're intrigued by temporary, muted PG production. |

Fri Dec 6 2013 | 23:43 | Andre Miller scores 10 points in 24 mins. |
Andre Miller shot 5-of-6 from the field against the Celtics on Friday for 10 points with one rebound, two steals and three turnovers. |
He might be moving into the starting lineup with Ty Lawson's status up in the air for Saturday's game at Philly. In 11 starts last season, Miller averaged 12.9 points, 7.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.5 minutes. He does look a little slower this year, so it would be a bit of a stretch for him to log that many minutes on Saturday. He's more of a speculative add in deep leagues unless there is negative news on Lawson before Saturday's game. |

Sun Oct 13 2013 | 13:45 | Andre Miller intends to play until he's 40 |
Andre Miller intends to play in the NBA until he's 40 years old, which would keep him in uniform through the 2015-16 season. |
Brian Shaw said Miller "still has something in the tank." He's a whip-smart offensive player but his defensive limitations are often glaring, and Denver's backcourt depth makes him a dubious fantasy option. Miller easily dismisses his detractors, saying, "I've never missed a game as a Nugget. I couldn't care less what people say as far as my preparation and what I do on the court." |

Thu Sep 26 2013 | 17:28 | Andre Miller worked on his shot this summer |
Andre Miller worked on his jump shot and ball handling over the offseason. |
He's never really been much of a shooter and only 19.6 percent of his shots came from beyond 16 feet in all of last season. Miller is going to run the point for the second unit for Denver, which became a lot weaker this year, especially with Danilo Gallinari recovering from an ACL tear. He'll be a low-upside option in deeper leagues for assists. |

Thu Jul 25 2013 | 17:54 | GM says Andre Miller will stay with Nuggets |
Nuggets GM Tim Connelly says Andre Miller will remain with the team. |
Miller had been mentioned in a trade report and appeared to be expendable after the Nuggets signed Nate Robinson this summer. Connelly, however, disputed the idea that Miller is headed anywhere, responding "absolutely" when asked if the veteran point guard would be with the Nuggets next season. |

Tue Jul 2 2013 | 13:04 | Rumor: Nuggets may look to trade Andre Miller |
The Nuggets may try to trade Andre Miller this summer, according to Chris Tomasson of Fox Sports. |
George Karl was Miller's biggest cheerleader but he's no longer with the franchise, and Miller has agitated for a bigger role in the past. He's owed $5 million this year, with only $2 million guaranteed next season, and the Nuggets probably wouldn't have much trouble finding teams interested in their productive veteran PG. |

Sat Apr 20 2013 | 20:34 | Andre Miller hits game-winning layup vs. GSW |
Andre Miller made a game-winning layup with one second left to lead Denver to a 97-95 win over the Warriors, scoring a game-high 28 points to go with three boards, five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 27 minutes. |
The old-man game was working for Denver. He was finding ways to get open looks and made 11-of-16 from the field in the big win. Miller had a quiet finish to his regular season during the last four games, shooting an ugly 20 percent from the field. He's been around for a while and even played against Stephen Curry's dad . His age and style of play will be fun to watch. |

Thu Apr 11 2013 | 01:54 | Andre Miller starts for injured Ty Lawson |
Andre Miller had 12 points and five assists on 4-of-8 shooting in 34 minutes of a start for injured Ty Lawson on Wednesday. |
We were expecting a little more with Lawson out, and if he continues to miss games with his heel injury, Miller should be better than this on most nights. |

Fri Apr 5 2013 | 00:11 | Andre Miller scores 22 points w/ seven dimes |
Andre Miller shot 9-of-15 from the field for 22 points with three boards, seven assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 33 minutes against the Mavericks on Thursday. |
The Nuggets are running out of bodies and Miller will be running most of the offense. he averaged six assists over his last five games and should be viewed as a must-own player in standard leagues. |

Thu Mar 28 2013 | 02:24 | Andre Miller scored 14 with eight dimes |
Andre Miller handed out eight assists in a loss to the Spurs on Wednesday, adding 14 points, five boards and one steal in 28 minutes. |
All signs are pointing to Ty Lawson sitting out on Friday, so Miller should be all set to have a nice game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's worth an add for Friday and could pick up some long-term value should any tests on Ty Lawson's heel conclude that he needs to miss extra games. |

Mon Mar 25 2013 | 22:55 | Andre Miller scores just nine in sub-par game |
Andre Miller got another start for the injured Ty Lawson on Monday, scoring nine points with four boards, six assists and two steals in 39 minutes against the Hornets. |
He was abused by rookie Brian Roberts for the entire game and Miller now has back-to-back sub-par games with his 11-point, five-assist outing on Saturday. Lawson isn't going to be out that much longer, so if Miller is still sitting out there in shallow leagues, there's little reason to pick him up. |

Fri Mar 22 2013 | 00:14 | Andre Miller scores 21 points vs. Sixers |
Andre Miller shot 9-of-14 from the field for 21 points with three boards, eight assists and one steal in 40 minutes against the Sixers on Thursday. |
He took over for the injured Ty Lawson (heel) and he's solidified his case as one of the best backups in the NBA. Lawson isn't expected to miss too much time, but it wouldn't hurt to give Miller a look for Saturday's game against the Kings. |
