Miller was one of two selections by commissioner Don Garber.
This season, the 25-year-old defender has played 16 games with CFM, including 15 as a starter. He has proven to be one of the club’s mainstays in defence. He even found his place in the Canadian squad that earned its ticket to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Of the 26 MLS players chosen for the All-Star Game, the breakdown was as follows:
— 12 players were determined by a vote of MLS players, fans and media. Each of the three groups represents one-third of the combined vote.
— 12 players were selected by All-Star Game Head Coach Adrian Heath of host Minnesota United FC.
— 2 players were selected by MLS Commissioner Don Garber.
