Jordan Miller Out Into 2027 After Rotator Cuff Surgery
Clippers Nightly Desk · 1 h agoJordan Miller had surgery Wednesday to repair a torn left rotator cuff and will be re-evaluated in six months, according to Law Murray of The Athletic, putting his return at around March 1, 2027. That timeline wipes out most of his 2026-27 season before it starts. Miller heads into his fourth year off a 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged 10.0 points in 22.1 minutes across 60 games for the Clippers.
The injury
Miller underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn left rotator cuff, per Law Murray of The Athletic. He'll be re-evaluated in six months, which points to an estimated return around March 1, 2027. That puts almost the entire 2026-27 season out of reach for the 26-year-old guard. The shoulder issue is the only injury on his log this season, logged September 6 as out with a shoulder and arm injury. For a Clippers roster that leaned on him for backcourt depth and secondary playmaking, it's a long absence to plan around from the jump, before the opener has even been played.
What he brought last season
In 2025-26, Miller played 60 games and averaged 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 22.1 minutes per night. He shot 53.1 percent from the field, 34.5 percent from three and 77.7 percent from the line, good for a 62.8 true shooting mark. His usage rate sat at 17.7 percent, with 0.8 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.1 turnovers per game. The plus-minus was modest at -0.2. Those numbers describe a role player who could score efficiently in a limited allotment of minutes, the profile of a rotation guard rather than a focal point.
How the stretch run looked
Miller's last ten games of 2025-26 ran from March 23 to April 12. He had two of his better scoring nights in that stretch against Portland, with 16 points on March 31 and 15 points on April 10, though the Clippers lost both. His best complete game came April 12 against Golden State: 14 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in a win. He also posted 6 assists in an April 8 loss to Oklahoma City and a March 29 win over Milwaukee where he grabbed 5 rebounds. Minutes varied widely, from 13.2 up to 32.4, reflecting a role that shifted game to game.
Background
Miller is a 6-foot-5, 194-pound guard out of Miami, now in his third season of NBA experience and wearing No. 22 for the Clippers. He's entering the 2026-27 season, his fourth as a pro, coming off a 2025-26 year spent entirely with the Clippers. At 26 years old, he was carving out a steady niche as a rotation guard who could shoot efficiently from three levels. The rotator cuff surgery interrupts that development path right as the new season begins, and the six-month recovery window means the bulk of his conditioning and reps will happen away from games.
What it means for the Clippers
With Miller out for the foreseeable future, the Clippers head into the 2026-27 opener without one of last season's rotation guards. His 22.1 minutes and 10.0 points per game last season represented real backcourt depth, and that production won't be available as the schedule starts. There's no word yet on a firm return date beyond the six-month re-evaluation window Murray reported, which lines up with roughly March 1, 2027. Until then, Miller's next game reps will come whenever he's cleared, likely well into the season if the timeline holds.
