Andre Miller has never been known as a big scorer, so it’s not all that surprising to know he played 22:17 without scoring. He was still able to impact the game with seven assists, so we’ll give him a bit of a break here.
Clean and Sober Award
In our first double winner of the year, Andre Miller was also the player to play the most minutes without taking a shot. His 22:17 without attempting nary a free-throw lands him on this list. That’s pretty difficult to do, when you think about it.
Iron Man Award
The Ironman award goes to Arron Afflalo, who played 52:25 in a double-overtime loss to the Sixers. He scored 43 points on 14-of-27 shooting, including hitting three clutch free-throws to send the game into another OT.
