The Oregonian - Darius Miles will be held out of practices for at least two weeks because of his right knee, which was operated on in December, The Oregonian is reporting.

Miles downplayed the news, saying he should be ready by November. He said he wanted to, and could have, practiced Tuesday, but didn't because of "Coach's decision."

Coach Nate McMillan said he simply was following orders from team doctors and trainer Jay Jensen, who recommended Miles strengthen his right knee and get in better condition before returning to action. Jensen estimated Miles' right knee is 80 percent healthy.
