Former New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller may not be making the trip to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. According to a recent report, his health has taken an unexpected turn.
K'Andre Miller was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes this summer. In return, the team would receive two draft picks and prospect Scott Morrow.
There was news of a return to Madison Square Garden to happen this season, but it appears the Carolina Hurricanes defenseman won't be making the trip.
The Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky has placed the former 1st-round pick on the injured reserve, according to The Athletic's Peter Baugh today.

The former Rangers defenseman will be placed on IR retroactive to October 20th, according to DailyFaceOff:
Miller's placement on IR is retroactive to Oct. 20, meaning that he can return to play whenever he's ready and when a roster spot is available. The 25-year-old has been out of action for a little over a week since suffering a lower-body injury. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour told the media it «could be a while» before Miller's ready to get back into the lineup.
Miller's production had taken off with his new team, as he'd scored 4 points (2-2) in 6 games under Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour.
This is welcome news for a team that signed the former 1st-round pick to an eight-year $7.5 million contract with the Hurricanes.
Miller has played 374 games in the NHL, scoring 136 points (38-98), and only 6 of those games have been with the Hurricanes.
