MINNEAPOLIS — Hampered by a bad back, Mike Miller considered retiring in summer 2012. Fast-forward 3½ years, and that's a subject far from his mind.

"If my body feels the way it is right now, I want to play a couple of more years for sure," the Nuggets forward said before Tuesday night's game against Minnesota at the Target Center.

Miller, 35, was noticeably hobbled for the Miami Heat when it won the 2012 NBA title, even though he scored 23 points in the decisive Game 5 win over Oklahoma City.
