Brad Miller Breaks Leg

Sacramento King center Brad Miller will be out at least a month after breaking his left leg during a light shooting drill Saturday.

Miller, a two-time All-Star, missed Sacramento’s last six games because of a bruised calf. He was expected to return for today’s game against Houston but broke his fibula in a non-contact drill.

Team doctors say the bone will take up to six weeks to heal. The playoffs begin in six weeks, and the Kings aren’t sure whether he’ll be ready.
