Good news from the Kings: Broadcaster Bob Miller is doing well after undergoing a precautionary surgical procedure Friday.

A club spokesman said Miller’s wife, Judy, said that her husband’s spirits are good.

‘Today’s surgery went well and Bob is doing quite well. He is already anxious to get back and he and his family appreciate everyone’s concern,’ she said through the Kings.

Miller, who will turn 72 next month, said in an interview Thursday that he expects to be back in the broadcast booth in time for the Kings’ season opener Oct. 9.
