MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies have signed forward Darius Miles to a second 10-day contract.

Memphis waived Miles on Jan. 7 and re-signed him three days later. That came two days after the Portland Trail Blazers threatened possible legal action against any team signing the free agent.

Miles is back from major knee surgery. His return put Portland on the hook for the $18 million and two years remaining on his deal.

After signing his first 10-day deal on Jan. 10, Miles played three games and averaged 8.3 points and three rebounds.
