The Indiana Pacers will retire Reggie Miller's famous #31 jersey, thanking the sharp shooting guard for 18 years of dedicated service, the Associated Press is reporting.
"When I came to Indiana, nobody knew what the Pacers were about," Miller said. "We were cellar dwellers for so long. I wanted people to think of us the way they thought about Chicago, Detroit, L.A."
Miller will be honored at halftime of the game against the Phoenix Suns.
"To know that No. 31 will be hanging from the rafters ... it'll be a special night," said Miller.
