MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Miller will miss the next five games after being placed on the injured list with back spasms.

Miller, who has averaged nearly 12 points and four assists this season, consulted with team physicians Wednesday. He left in third quarter of the Grizzlies' 109-92 win over Dallas on Tuesday.

In his place, the Grizzlies activated rookie Troy Bell. One of their two first-round picks, Bell has appeared in two games this season and has been active for 18 of 53 games after being placed on the injured list twice with tendinitis in his left knee.
