The NBA is scheduled to restart its season on July 30 in a bubble at Disney World, but Darius Miller is unsure when he will return to action for the New Orleans Pelicans.
Miller had surgery last August to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon.
He met with the media online today and talked about his rehab.
"Every day we're trying to add something new, incorporate something new into my workouts, and just see how my body reacts, honestly. That's pretty much the point I'm at," Miller said. "Like I said, it's unfortunate I can't play 5-on-5 or at least 3-on-3 or something like that just to get a gauge, but we're doing the most that we can right now to see about when I'll be able to play."
A reporter asked Miller how he will make a decision to come back this year if he's able or wait until next season.
"I think it started with the team, nobody has pressured me to do anything that I didn't want to do," Miller said, "They've supported me throughout the whole injury, so, I mean, I think that's a big part of it. And on the other hand, I'm just gonna give it all I got. If I'm able to go, I am, if not, then, that's just the way that it is. I haven't been able test a lot, like I said, but as we ramp up a little bit more, I'll be able to see and I think they'll put me in a good position to know if I'm ready or not."
(Updated to add that the media gathering was online.)
