Hornets’ Miller Sidelined Due to Shoulder Soreness
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller will not play in today’s game against the Washington Wizards due to shoulder soreness. This announcement follows Miller’s early exit from Saturday’s match against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Details on Brandon Miller’s Injury
During the game against Philadelphia, Miller left the court with approximately 10:50 remaining in the second quarter. He walked directly to the locker room, visibly in pain and holding his left arm. At that point, the specifics of the injury remained unclear.
Performance Summary
- Miller scored four points and tallied one assist in nine minutes of play against the 76ers.
- Prior to the injury, he had an impressive season opener, contributing 25 points and seven assists against the Brooklyn Nets.
Background Information on Brandon Miller
Miller, standing at 6-foot-8, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He was selected right after San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama. Last season, Miller faced challenges, playing only 27 games due to a wrist injury that required surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in January.
As the Hornets prepare for their game against the Wizards, the team will need to adapt to Miller’s absence and plan accordingly for their upcoming matches.
