MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -The Memphis Grizzlies have re-signed forward Darius Miles despite threats of legal action by the Portland Trail Blazers.
Blazers president Larry Miller has said he believes other clubs wanted to sign Miles because it would cost Portland money, not because they thought he would help them on the court.
The Grizzlies said Saturday they signed Miles to a 10-day contract. Memphis waived Miles on Wednesday. If he plays in two more games, Portland will be on the hook for the $18 million left on his contract. That would count against its salary cap and force the team to pay luxury tax.
Miles is coming back from major knee surgery. Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace says his team can use a veteran with his skills.
