Brandon Miller News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

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.

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.

Won't play Thursday Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Impact Miller was questionable for Thursday's matchup due to his left ankle injury, and he'll be unavailable for the second time this season.

Questionable against Brooklyn Miller is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Nets due to a left ankle injury.

Impact Miller suffered his injury against the Knicks despite playing 36 minutes and could miss just his second game of the year Thursday. If the rookie forward is ruled out, Bryce McGowens JT Thor and Nick Smith are candidates to receive extended playing time.

Starting Tuesday Miller will start Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact LaMelo Ball is expected to miss extended time with an ankle injury, so Terry Rozier will slide over to point guard with Miller joining the starting five. Miller fared well in a larger role Sunday against the Magic, scoring 20 points with five rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers.

NOVEMBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 20 points Miller produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 130-117 loss to the Magic.

Impact Miller started the second half of Sunday's game, as LaMelo Ball left for good after 15 minutes with an ankle injury. Miller reached the 20-point mark for the third time this season, and he's been trending up with averages of 18.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.8 three-pointers over his last four games. He could be looking at a larger share of the offense if Ball ends up missing more time.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Miller won't start Monday's game against the Magic, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Miller started eight straight appearances but will revert back to a bench role with Terry Rozier (groin) cleared to suit up following a nine-game absence. Miller should still garner a sizable reserve role, as he averaged 14.4 points and 5.2 rebounds across five bench appearances to start the campaign.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scores career-high 29 points Miller delivered 29 points (10-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's 122-108 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Miller missed the previous game with a left ankle sprain but looked healthy enough to deliver a career-high mark in scoring. Miller started the season on the bench but has already secured a starting role, and while it remains to be seen whether he'll maintain that spot once Terry Rozier (groin) returns, he's doing enough to show he deserves more minutes in a struggling Hornets team. Miller is averaging 12.6 points per game in November and has scored in double digits in five contests in a row.

Theo Maledon would likely draw another start if Miller is ruled out.
