Brandon Miller News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Limited to scoring duties only Miller notched 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Kings.

Impact Miller has scored 15 or fewer points in his last four games, and though his scoring figures have decreased a bit compared to recent weeks, he was able to show a good shooting touch from beyond the arc. Miller is averaging just 10.8 points per game while shooting a meager 29.4 percent from field in that stretch.

Not on injury report Miller (hip) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Miller was a late scratch for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a left hip contusion, but he should be back in action for Friday's matchup. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 17.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 30.7 minutes per game.

Late scratch Tuesday Miller won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Kings due to a left hip contusion.

Impact After not appearing on Charlotte's injury report all day, Miller was a scratch from Tuesday's contest due to a hip injury. With Gordon Hayward (calf) out, Bryce McGowens, Cody Martin and JT Thor are candidates to receive extended minutes. Miller's next chance to suit up is Friday's game against the Bulls.

Big shot volume Monday Miller ended Monday's 111-93 loss to the Nuggets with 15 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes.

Impact Miller has now recorded at least 15 shots in 12 of his 28 appearances this season. Although that can partially be attributed to injury woes for Charlotte, it's nonetheless notable that Miller is comfortable firing away and trusted to by coach Steve Clifford. In games with such volume, Miller is delivering 18.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 41.8/41.0/88.5 percent shooting.

Pops for 20 points Friday Miller amassed 20 points (7-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 133-119 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Miller scored at least 20 points for the sixth time this season, continuing his strong rookie season. Although he is outside the top 150 for the season, Miller has solid averages of 14.9 points per game to go with 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.1 three-pointers. He doesn't offer much on the defensive side of the court, limiting his overall fantasy upside. With that said, he should be rostered in all formats, especially with the Hornets continuing to battle multiple injuries.

Available to play Thursday Miller (ankle) is available to play in Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Miller returning from a one-game absence will give the Hornets a huge boost, as they are very shorthanded these days. Gordon Hayward (calf) is going to miss at least a couple of weeks, so Miller is expected to take on an even larger role in the short term.

DECEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tabbed questionable Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Miller missed Charlotte's last contest due to a sprained right ankle and is at risk of missing another game. Considering Thursday's tilt is the opening leg of a back-to-back set, the Hornets could opt to play it safe with the second overall pick. If he does end up sitting, Bryce McGowens and Cody Martin are the likely candidates to pick up Millers' vacated minutes.

Ruled out against Clippers Miller (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Miller left Saturday's game against Denver early with this ankle issue and was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, so hopefully he's day-to-day. For now, he should be considered questionable to return for Thursday's game against the Lakers. With Miller out, the Hornets will need guys like Gordon Hayward, Bryce McGowens and Cody Martin to step up.

Questionable for Tuesday Miller (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Clippers.

Impact Miller was forced to exit Saturday's loss to Denver after suffering a right ankle sprain following 11 minutes of action. He suffered a left ankle sprain Nov.12 against the Knicks and dealt with the injury throughout the month, but he only missed two isolated contests. Miller's current injury is unrelated to his prior designations, although his status for Tuesday's game remains unclear.

No. 2 overall pick Brandon Miller ruled out for Hornets after injuring ankle vs Nuggets

Charlotte Hornets rookie Brandon Miller has been ruled out for the second half of Saturday night's game against the Denver Nuggets due to a right ankle sprain

DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Done for night with ankle issue Miller will not return to Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to a right ankle injury. He finished with four points, two assists and one rebound in 11 minutes.

Impact Miller suffered the injury during the first quarter and went back to the locker room. The Hornets initially said he was available to return, but they quickly changed their stance a few moments later and ruled him for the rest of the evening. The Hornets are already very shorthanded, so we could see guys like Caleb Martin and Bryce McGowens absorb more minutes off the bench.

Impact Miller attempted his second-most field goals of his rookie campaign en route to his third-highest scoring output during Wednesday's loss. The 21-year-old forward has scored double-digit points in each of his last 12 appearances and is shooting 42.5 percent on 6.1 three-point attempts per contest over that span.

Continues scoring Miller contributed 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Heat.

Impact Miller's scoring isn't always flashy or efficient, but the rookie providing a sizable offensive impact on a nightly basis is an awesome sign for his trajectory. He's settling into rhythm from beyond the arc as well, connecting on 50.9 percent of 5.9 threes per game across his past nine contests.
