October 4, 2003

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Forward Mike Miller signed a six-year contract extension with the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and Miller's agent didn't immediately return calls Saturday.

Memphis acquired Miller last season in a trade with the Orlando Magic, and he averaged 12.8 points and 3.4 rebounds in 16 games with the Grizzlies.

Miller's season averages were 15.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 65 games with Orlando and Memphis.

In college, Miller led Florida to the 2000 NCAA championship game.

Selected fifth overall in the NBA draft by Orlando, he was the lone unanimous selection to the NBA All-Rookie First Team after averaging 11.9 points and four rebounds. In his second season, he improved to 15.2 points and 4.3 rebounds.
