马刺前锋埃马努埃尔·米勒今天迎来26岁生日。
米勒在2月23日与马刺签下了一份双向合同。他加入了那个如同旋转门一般的双向合同第三人位置，接替了斯坦利·乌穆德（后者在12月顶替了凯尔·曼加斯，而曼加斯又在几天前才替换了莱利·米尼克斯）。米勒与大卫·琼斯·加西亚和哈里森·英格拉姆一同组成了双向合同球员名单。尽管他从未在圣安东尼奥获得上场时间，米勒还是充分体验了2026年季后赛的各种大场面。
米勒出生于加拿大，最终来到了得克萨斯州，曾先后为得克萨斯农工大学和得克萨斯基督教大学征战大学篮球。2024年，他落选后与达拉斯独行侠队签约参加夏季联赛。他最终为独行侠下属的发展联盟球队得克萨斯传奇队效力。两个月后，他与芝加哥公牛队签下一份双向合同。他一直留在公牛队体系内，直到去年二月，他作为一笔三方交易的一部分被送到了克利夫兰。骑士队随后裁掉了他，他便与马刺队签约。
目前无从知晓米勒下赛季会落脚何方——是留在马刺还是另谋高就。但就今天而言，在这个介于总决赛和NBA选秀之间的奇妙空窗期，米勒仍被视为银黑军团的一员，因此，他理应收到我们最美好的祝愿。
生日快乐！

Open Thread: Happy birthday to Emanuel Miller
Spurs forward Emanuel Miller turns 26 today.
Miller signed a two-way contract with the Spurs on February 23rd. He took the revolving door third spot replacing Stanley Umude (who replaced Kyle Mangus in December, who had replaced Riley Minix just days before). Miller joined David Jones Garcia and Harrison Ingram on the two-way roster. Though he never received playing time in San Antonio, Miller was exposed to all the bells and whistles of the 2026 playoffs.
Born in Canada, Miller eventually found his way to Texas, playing college ball in both Texas A&M and TCU. In 2024, he went undrafted before signing with Dallas Mavericks for Summer League. He eventually played for their G-League affiliate, the Texas Legends. Two months later, he signed a two-way contract with the Chicago Bulls. He was with the Bulls organization until last February when he was part of a three-team trade that landed him in Cleveland. The Cavaliers waived him and he signed on with the Spurs.
No telling where Miller will land next season, whether he stays with the Spurs or heads toward greener pastures. But for today, in the strange window between the Finals and the NBA Draft, Miller is still considered a member of the Silver & Black, and as such, is entitled to best wishes.
Happy birthday!
