Trail Blazers point guard Andre Miller has been suspended one game for his actions against the Clippers on Sunday night.

Miller was suspended for "excessive and unnecessary contact" with Blake Griffin.

Portland will likely start Patrick Mills at point guard on Tuesday against Phoenix.

From about half-court, Miller went full speed and lowered his shoulder into Griffin. The former No. 1 overall pick was knocked down and slid into the basket standard.

"I actually wanted to get him harder," Miller said afterward. "But he knew it was coming, because he got me good - actually a couple of times."
