Jordan Tyler Miller (born January 23, 2000) is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA), on a two-way contract with the San Diego Clippers of the NBA G League. He played college basketball for the George Mason Patriots and Miami Hurricanes.

Early life and high school[edit]

Miller grew up in Middleburg, Virginia and attended Loudoun Valley High School.[1] He was named the Virginia High School League's Class AAAA Player of the Year as a junior after leading the team to the state championship and a 30–1 overall record.[2]

College career[edit]

Miller began his college career at George Mason.[2] He initially intended to redshirt his freshman season, but became a starter for the second half of the Patriots' season following a number of injuries on the team and averaged 10.4 points in 17 games played. Miller averaged 12.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game during his sophomore season.[3] He averaged 15.8 points per game and was named third-team All-Atlantic 10 Conference as a junior.[4] Following the end of the season, Miller entered the NCAA transfer portal.

Miller ultimately transferred to Miami (Florida).[5] He averaged 10.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.8 steals per game in his first season with the Hurricanes.[6] After the season, Miller decided to utilize the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes who played in the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic and return to Miami for a second season.[7] Miller was named second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference as a fifth-year senior after averaging 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game in 37 starts.[8] In the Hurricanes' Elite Eight game in the 2023 NCAA tournament against Texas, he made seven of seven field goal attempts and made all 13 free throw attempts as Miami won 88–81 win.[9] It was only the second "perfect game" with at least seven field goal attempts in NCAA tournament history after Christian Laettner had done so in 1992.[10] At the end of the season, Miller declared for the 2023 NBA draft.[11]

Professional career[edit]

Miller was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in second round of the 2023 NBA draft with the 48th overall pick.[12] On August 7, 2023, he signed a two-way contract with the Clippers.[13]
