Denver Nuggets veteran guard Mike Miller appeared on The Ringer NBA Show with Chris Vernon and reflected on his 17-year career, the state of the Nuggets, and their outlook this year.

Miller also addressed if this season would be his last.

“I don’t think so, I don’t know yet,” Miller said. “I have one more [year on my contract], I still love it, I still enjoy being in there, I still love being in the locker room. Travel’s getting tough, but to me, it’s a blessing. I get to wake up every day and play basketball.”

This past offseason, Miller signed a 2-year, partially guaranteed $7 million contract with the Nuggets and seems open to playing out the remaining year of his deal. The $3.5 million owed to Miller in 2017-18 becomes guaranteed on July 12.

The 36-year-old has only logged four minutes of action this season but is regarded as one of the better locker-room guys throughout the league, and was instrumental in turning around the culture in Denver last year. He’s also a valued veteran to have in Denver with three rookies and a roster stocked full of young talent.
