LSU's Miller out for season with torn ACL

LSU guard Adam Miller will miss the entire 2021-22 season after tearing his ACL, he confirmed to Stadium's Jeff Goodman on Wednesday.

Miller transferred to LSU this year after playing his freshman season at Illinois. He averaged 8.3 points while starting all 31 games for the top-seeded Fighting Illini.

A consensus four-star recruit out of high school, the native of Chicago opted to depart his home state for a larger role with the Tigers.

With Cameron Thomas, Trendon Watford, and Javonte Smart - LSU's top three scorers last season - all leaving the program, Miller would have had an opportunity to enjoy a breakout year.
