MILES’ SIGNING UPSETS BLAZERS
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies re-signed forward Darius Miles despite threats of legal action by the Portland Trail Blazers.
Blazers president Larry Miller has said he believes other NBA clubs wanted to sign Miles because it would cost Portland money, not because they thought he would help them on the court.
The Grizzlies said Saturday they signed Miles to a 10-day contract. If he plays in two more games, Portland will be on the hook for the $18 million left on his contract.
Boozer sidelined.
Utah forward Carlos Boozer is expected to miss at least four weeks while recovering from knee surgery to remove loose cartilage from the left knee.
Bucks’ Bogut returns.
Milwaukee center Andrew Bogut returned to action Saturday night against Minnesota after missing four games because of a back injury.
