Miller Signs Four-Year Deal With Pacers As Camp Opens

Reggie Miller, the Indiana Pacers’ career scoring leader, signed a new contract Monday and joined the team for the start of training camp in North Carolina.

Miller was not immediately available for comment.

The Indianapolis News reported Monday that Miller’s contract would be a four-year deal worth about $9 million per season.

Miller’s agent, Arn Tellem, and the Pacers had spent much of the summer negotiating a contract for the nine-year veteran. The length of the contract and the amount of guaranteed money apparently were the last major unresolved issues.

Tellem would not confirm the money involved in the agreement, but did say it was a four-year guaranteed contract with neither Miller nor the Pacers having an option.

Byron Scott, a free-agent guard who spent the first 10 years of his NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers, signed a contract with the team. Terms were not announced.

Lakers assistant coach Michael Cooper is resigning from the position to pursue other interests.
