TERRAFIRMA is playing well in the PBA Philippine Cup but is actually missing the services of a first-round pick from the last rookie draft.
Fil-Am Taylor Miller quietly left the country last month to go back to the US, apparently due to 'personal anxiety.'
Miller is homesick
Both Terrafirma and his representative Charlie Dy confirmed the departure of the 6-foot-2 Miller, who was picked No. 12 overall by the KIA franchise in the draft last year.
“Na-homesick kasi,” said team manager Ronald Tubid.
The product of Westminster College, Miller played limited minutes for the Dyip during the Commissioner’s Cup but he did show a glimpse of his talent and athleticism in the times he was on the floor for the team.
He averaged 2.8 points, 1.0 rebound, and 1.1 assists while averaging six minutes of play.
Miller's contract suspended
The two-year contract he signed with Terrafirma is currently suspended pending his return.
Will he still comeback?
“Depende pa,” was the curt reply of Dy.
His rights however, remain with the Dyip.
Terrafirma currently sits at solo fourth place in the standings with an even 4-4 record following its 113-110 loss to San Miguel on Wednesday at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
