Miller’s legs amputated below knees
SALT LAKE CITY (AP)—Longtime Utah Jazz owner Larry H. Miller’s legs were amputated 6 inches below the knee on Friday.
Jazz spokesman Jonathan Rinehart said Friday’s surgery was the result of complications from Type 2 diabetes.
Rinehart said the 64-year-old Miller is recovering in a hospital.
“Larry is doing well and is expected to continue to recover in the coming weeks and months,” Greg Miller, Larry Miller’s son, said in a statement. The statement said Miller’s family would not be releasing any details.
Rinehart said Miller was already using a wheelchair before the surgery.
On Thursday, Gov. Jon Huntsman chose Miller to chair a new commission that will look for ways to increase Utah’s low voter turnout and improve ethics in government. Miller did not attend the announcement—the reason given was that he had a hospital appointment.
In October, doctors found a bone infection and diabetic ulcers on one of Miller’s feet. He had outpatient surgery.
Miller had a heart attack over the summer. Complications including kidney failure and gastrointestinal bleeding that required blood transfusions followed, keeping him in the hospital for nearly two months.
Medical problems continued, including a nine-day hospitalization for dialysis to remove excess water weight.
Miller bought a 50 percent share of the Jazz in 1985 and purchased the rest of the team a year later.
Due to his father’s health, Greg Miller was selected as the CEO of the Larry H. Miller Group over the summer.
The group owns the Jazz, radio and TV stations, restaurants, car dealerships, movie theaters, advertising and finance firms, sports arenas, a race track, a movie production company, ranches, a real estate development
company and a minor league baseball team.

All the best to Miller, he's a great owner and his radio show is very good.«My goal is to be back on the court before Carlos Boozer», said the entrepreneur in his first public remarks after the surgery.
Best of luck to this guy.
wish him the best
Larry Miller is one of the more, bigoted, self-interested, assholes in all of America, but still, I'll concede that sucks for him.
huh? that doesn't sound right to me.Miller has contributed to a variety of causes and organizations, including a $21 million dollar training center for law enforcement and corrections officers, as well as a significant investment towards a campus for Salt Lake Community College, which are both named in his honor.
In November 1995, he formed Larry H. Miller Charities, whose mission statement is, "We give back to our communities by focusing our united service and corporate giving on youth and children with an emphasis on health and education." Since its inception, the foundation has raised more than $1 million, distributing those funds to charitable organizations in the communities where the Larry H. Miller Group does business.
His public service has been recognized by numerous awards, including the Utah Minuteman Award from the Utah National Guard in 1990, an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Utah in 1991, and the Tourist Achievement Award from the Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau in 1992.
the best of luck to him.
Well, once when you've lived a mile away from him for 22 years I think you can comment with as much assurance as I.
And really, if you want to impress me with Larry Miller's charitable works you're going to have to do better than:
Honestly mars, WTF do you think you're talking to?Miller has contributed to a variety of causes and organizations, including a $21 million dollar training center for law enforcement and corrections officers.
But like I said, as much as I dislike the guy, I don't wish this on him. He's a hateful monster IMO, but even monsters deserve feet.
If you have diabetes, check your feet every day. Could be you can't feel an ulcer forming.
I wonder if Miller's doctors tried maggot therapy first.
Miller has been a benefactor of anti-gay causes.
Wow! Strong stuff. Got any examples of his bigoted and unusual behavior?
1. He owns a lot of businesses in SLC and I've heard a lot of stories, from a lot of people, detailing just how much he treats people who work for and serve him, like they were absolute . People worth a half billion dollars, that routinely treat other, less wealthy people, like , are about as low as it gets.
2. He's a bigot of epic proportion. Plain and simple.
3. Once I was parked behind him at a red light (1300 and So. Temple) waiting to turn right... and the mother er just wouldn't turn. He was waiting to turn too. He was just being a and waiting for a green light? WTF is that? There's no law about turning right at a red in SLC. I laid on my horn for a minute straight and the ignorant er just sat there and waited for the light. WTF is that?
4. He's heavily mormon and thereby lives in a nonsensical, delusional version of the world. He then wields his enormous economic influence in the local political arena so as to promote the horrid values of his cult.
5. When I was a senior in High School I went to a 4th of July party at his next door neighbor's house. In the middle of the day, even though there was acres of lawn between us, that er calls the cops. Dozens of kids get MIP's and their parents called by the cops. On the 4th of July...
At that being a bad thing
It is, bigot.
his wife has some serious kancles
The other points are childish jealous rants. This is bigoted. There's stil freedom of religion in this country. Why are you so judgmental and hateful? Let people live by the values they think it's right.
Matt Harpring is already on the payroll too.
1)Almost all CEO's are like that to their workers people like that don't give a about who they step on1.

5)LMAO at you ing about being narced on when there is obvious law breakage. If you live next door to a DBag don't be surpised when he acts like a Dbag
Nothing to lose legs over, it's not like he's being racist or anything.
You think that's gross? I tried and couldn't find a picture of Larry Miller's left ear. It's been covered in some nasty growth for years.his wife has some serious kancles
Actually, you can kind of see it in this pugnacious little pic, but it doesn't really justice to the up close nastiness. Although the pic itself, pretty much confirms everything else I've said about him.
The problem is when those same values are forced upon you regardless of how you feel.
I didn't express glee over him losing his legs. I simply pointed out one of the reasons he is held in low regard and you dismissed it.
I wouldn't wish a benefactor of gay causes to lose his legs.
Not in public. Are you seriously going to look at those pictures of him and his stone hateful wife and tell me they aren't at least a little racist? And I know I'm making generalizations myself, but to paraphrase Woody Allen, I'm a bigot, but for the left, so...
