A Zoom chat with Rangers 2018 first round pick K’Andre Miller Friday was hacked, with someone putting up racial slurs directed at Miller, the defenseman who the Rangers signed last month to an entry level contract after he played two seasons at the University of Wisconsin. Miller, 20, is biracial, with a white mother and black father.

“We held an online video chat with fans and New York Rangers prospect, K’Andre Miller, during which a vile individual hijacked the chat to post racial slurs, which we disabled as soon as possible,’’ said a statement issued by the Rangers, regarding the incident.
