Arizona Coyotes renounce 2020 draft pick for racial incident

The Coyotes used their fourth round selection on Mitchell Miller in the 2020 Draft. In the last week, a report appeared in AZ Central detailing an incident from his childhood where he bullied a disabled black teen and used racial slurs.

Today, the Arizona Coyotes have renounced their rights to Miller.
