MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Mike Miller is going back to a former home, agreeing to a deal with the Memphis Grizzlies. Miller confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on Wednesday, about a week after the Miami Heat designated him as their amnesty player after three seasons with the team. Miller will still collect more than $12 million in salary from the Heat over the next two seasons, but will not count against their salary cap or luxury tax. The Grizzlies have not yet formally announced the deal. Miller spent parts of six seasons with the Grizzlies from 2003 through 2008. He helped the Heat win the past two NBA titles, and has averaged 12.3 points while shooting 41 per cent from 3-point range in his 13 NBA seasons.

Sammy Watkins Jersey . -- Timbers coach Caleb Porter didnt stray from his business-like approach to the season even after Portland downed the two-time defending league champion Los Angeles Galaxy to gain crucial playoff position. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- The old Alvin Kamara might have pouted, maybe even lashed out at his coaches as he waited his turn.The new Alvin Kamara just sat back, his fire burning as brightly as ever, as teammate Jalen Hurd got the starts and majority of carries early in Tennessees season. Kamara just told himself somebody down the road was going to pay.That somebody was Texas A&M, which looked as if it was grabbing at ghosts for most of this past Saturday at Kyle Field in trying to tackle Kamara, who tends to have that effect on defenders. He racked up a school-record 312 all-purpose yards in the Vols 45-38 double-overtime loss to the Aggies and showed the college football world what he already knew.That hes an elite running back.We couldnt tackle him, Texas A&M defensive coordinator John Chavis said. We had him hemmed up I dont know how many times for little or no gain, and hed get away. Thats how they got back into the game. You dont see many guys who can change direction the way he can, and hes a lot tougher than people think he is.The truth is, a lot of people had been wondering what Kamara could do if he ever got 20-plus touches in a game. He got 26 on offense against Texas A&M -- 18 rushing attempts for 127 yards and two touchdowns and eight catches for 161 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown to send the game into overtime. Hes the only player from a Power 5 conference to have 125 rushing yards and 150 receiving yards in the same game in the past 20 years.Not bad for a guy who was filling in for Hurd, the Vols injured starter.Oh yeah, I was ready, sort of silent but deadly, Kamara told ESPN.com. A lot of the talk was about Jalen not playing and what the Vols were going to be able to do without him. But all the time, I had a little grin on my face like, Yep, theyll see. Boy did they see. Kamara did his best Barry Sanders impression -- starting and stopping, cutting on a dime and turning no gains into big gains -- to immediately jump on everybodys radar. Then again, to some, it wasnt a huge surprise. At least two SEC coaches told ESPN.com before the season that the player they most feared on Tennessees offense was Kamara. They werent dissing Hurd and agreed he was a very good player in his own right, but they pointed out that nobody on the Vols offensive roster could change the complexion of a game as quickly as Kamara.Thats fitting because Kamara has changed dramatically since his first season of college football at Alabama, where he lasted a semester and got caught up in a ridiculously talented logjam at running back. He signed in the same class as eventual Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, a class that included two other four-star running backs in addition to Kamara. And already on campus were T.J. Yeldon, Kenyan Drake, Jalston Fowler and Dee Hart.You get there and realize that there really is just one ball with that many good backs, said Kamara, who redshirted that 2013 season. I remember thinking not long after I got there, This might not be the best situation for me. Kamara, who just turned 21 this past summer, is the first to admit that he made things even harder on himself at Alabama by the way he acted. He expected to come right in and play, and, when he didnt, he grew less and less coachable and ended up being suspended the week of the LSU game for what Nick Saban said were behavior reasons. Kamara was also suspended for the Sugar BBowl to cap the 2013 season.ddddddddddddI was young and immature and ready to take on the world, Kamara said. You think you can do anything and should be out there playing right away. It was hard, and I didnt handle it the best way, the transition from high school to college, because you realize pretty quickly that everybody at Alabama was the best player on their high school team.I dont think the competition was too much for me, but the concept of the coaching and understanding some of the things you have to do on and off the field were the hardest things for me.Kamara got his release from Alabama after the 2013 season and spent a year at Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College. He went the junior college route because he was determined to play in the SEC and didnt want to have to sit out for two years.Looking back, he says the whole junior college experience helped to humble him.I kind of took a step back and was able to see things for what they really were, and that helped me a lot, said Kamara, who chose the Vols over several SEC suitors out of Hutchinson.One of the surest signs Kamara has matured immensely is that he didnt pop off when he got only two carries against Florida or when he got just three carries against Virginia Tech two weeks earlier. He knew his time would come. Moreover, he hasnt spent any time worrying this week about how he and Hurd will be used against Alabama. Coach Butch Jones has said Hurd will return to the lineup.Me and Jalen understand our strengths and what we can bring to the offense, Kamara said. Its going to take both of us along with John Kelly. We all know each of us deserve carries, so theres not any animosity. Its not taking carries away from each other but sharing the load.Its equally telling that the Vols players voted on permanent team captains in the spring and Kamara, a redshirt junior, was the only non-senior to make the cut along with?Josh Dobbs, Cam Sutton and Jalen Reeves-Maybin.Hes a great athlete and an even better person off the field. Its amazing the dedication he puts in and his work ethic and all the film he watches, Tennessee junior safety Todd Kelly Jr. said of Kamara. Even though hes not the No. 1 running back, in the back of his mind, he prepares like that and knew his time was going to come, and when it did, he was going to make the best of it, and you saw that [against Texas A&M]. Everybody on this team has a lot of confidence in him.Kamara has shied away this week from a lot of Alabama talk. He said the games special because of what it could mean for the Vols, not because of his history.One game never defines a season, Kamara said. The main thing is that we can still reach all of our goals as a team. But, yeah, these are the games you grow up watching, especially in the South when its 3:30 on CBS and the TVs on and you hear that little jingle. You know its game time.Even though Kamara is a blur in the open field, he would like to dispel one myth. He has seen his weight listed as light as 192 pounds in some places and jokes that part of the reason people think hes small is that hes standing around 6-4, 240-pound Hurd much of the time.Im 215 pounds, a rock-solid 215, and can promise you I run like it, Kamara said.The Vols would like to think hes just revving up.
