Miller to miss rest of season

Kings center Brad Miller will miss the remainder of the season, the team has announced.
The lower leg strain he's been citing as the reason for his absence in the last two games is apparently more serious, as Miller is suffering from a stress fracture in the left fibular head as well as a bone chip in his right elbow. The news obviously means the Spencer Hawes show will reach new heights, as the rookie center will start in Miller's place. Thus, Miller's impressive season comes to an end. After playing just 63 games last season due to a foot injury and having his worst season in years, Miller recovered to average 13.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 72 games this season while shooting 46.3 percent overall. - Sam Amick

SAM AMICK

Sam Amick grew up in the Bay Area town of Pleasanton, Calif., where his hoops inspiration was the Run TMC crew of Golden State that was ruined when the Kings traded for Mitch Richmond in 1991. He headed for Sacramento nonetheless and earned a journalism degree from Sacramento State in 2000 before joining The Bee on a full-time basis in 2002. He assumed the Kings beat before the 2005-06 season. His favorite athlete of all-time is William Nuschler Clark, otherwise known as "Will the Thrill."
