Celtics Sign Darius Miles

Aug 22, 2008 12:13 PM EST

The Boston Celtics announced today that they have signed free agent forward
Darius Miles. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Miles, a 6’9”, 235lbs forward out of East St. Louis High School has posted
career averages of 10.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.15 blocks in 412 career
games. Miles was originally drafted with the third overall pick in the 2000
NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. Miles last played for the Portland
Trail Blazers during the 2005-06 season when he averaged a career high 14.0
points and 4.6 rebounds in 40 games. Miles missed all of the 2006-07 and
2007-08 seasons due to microfracture surgery on his right knee.

“Darius has been in twice for workouts with us and has impressed us with his
progress, health, and attitude;” said Danny Ainge, Celtics Executive
Director of Basketball Operations/General Manager. “Darius will have the
next couple of months to prove to myself and Coach Rivers that he can help us
win.”

The Bellville, Illinois native became the first player in NBA history to
receive All-Rookie honors straight out of high school when he averaged 9.4
points and 1.54 blocks for the Clippers in the 2000-01 season. Miles scored
in double-figures in 31 of the 40 games that he appeared in during his last
NBA season in 2005-06. As a starter in 23 of those 40 games he averaged 16.9
points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.

“I’ve watched the Boston Celtics play a lot last year and loved what I saw
in their teamwork and chemistry on the court and it’s the team that I want
to try to resume my career with.” said Miles. “I am excited about having an
opportunity to play on a team that I feel my personality fits with and a team
that can have great success on the court.”
