Baba Miller

Miller was born on February 7, 2004, in Palma de Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands in Spain. He has Senegalese and British ancestry. He began playing as a youth for CB Bahía San Agustín of Mallorca and later moved to Madrid to play for Distrito Olímpico. At age 12, he joined Real Madrid Baloncesto and played with the organization through the 2021-22 season. Starting with the youth B team, he played through all the team categories and was promoted to the senior team in December 2021, making his EuroLeague debut in a 71-65 win over PBC CSKA Moscow. He was a member of Real Madrid's winning team in the 2020-21 Euroleague Basketball Next Generation Tournament and averaged 11.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game with the Real Madrid B Team in 2021-22.

Miller decided to move to the United States and play for a team in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 2022, stating that he thought it was best for his development. Considered one of the top international prospects, he committed to play for the Florida State Seminoles over the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Prior to the start of the season, Miller was suspended by the NCAA, initially for the entire year but later for 16 games, due to him having received US$3,000 in third-party money to attend a training camp in 2020; his family paid the money back once they learned that it violated NCAA rules, but the suspension was upheld, drawing widespread criticism. He made his return from suspension against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, scoring four points and having four rebounds in a 90-75 loss. He finished the season with 15 games played while averaging 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

Miller announced in April 2023 that he was returning for his sophomore season at Florida State rather than declaring for the 2023 NBA draft.

In May 2024, Miller announced he was withdrawing from the NBA draft and that he would be transferring to Florida Atlantic University. Miller averaged 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists during the 2024-25 season with the Owls, and was selected to the All-American Athletic Conference team.

Miller transferred to Cincinnati for the 2025-2026 season. With the Bearcats, Miller led the Big 12 Conference in rebounds and became the first player since Oscar Robertson to lead Cincinnati in points, rebounds and assists in the same season. After the season, he was named to All-Big 12 Second Team and Big 12 All-Newcomer Team.

On June 24, 2026, Miller was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers with the 36th overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft.

Miller played for the Spain men's national under-18 basketball team, including at the 2021 FIBA U18 European Challengers tournament where he averaged 11.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. In 2023, he was a member of the national under-19 team that won the FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup, starting in the finals and recording 11 points scored and five rebounds in the game, while having an average of 9.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in the tournament.
