Darius Miles, Out Last 2 Years, Signed By Celtics

BOSTON (AP) ― The Celtics have signed forward Darius Miles, who missed the last two NBA seasons due to microfracture surgery on his right knee.

The 6-foot-9, 235-pound Miles was selected in 2000 with the third overall pick in the NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. The last time he played was with Portland in the 2005-2006 season.

Portland waived Miles in April after a doctor appointed by the league and the players association determined the damage to his knee was severe enough to qualify as a career-ending injury.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said in a statement Friday that the team worked out Miles twice and was impressed with his health and attitude.

Ainge said Miles will be given a few months to prove he can contribute.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
