UPDATE: Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Washington Wizards due to left shoulder soreness. This urgent news follows his early exit during Saturday’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, where he experienced significant discomfort.
Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, left the court with 10:50 remaining in the second quarter, visibly in pain and clutching his left arm. He managed to score four points and provide one assist in just 9 minutes of play before heading straight to the locker room. The Hornets lost that game, raising concerns about Miller’s health going forward.
This injury comes on the heels of a strong season opener where Miller delivered an impressive performance with 25 points and 7 assists against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Last season, he faced challenges as he played only 27 games due to a serious wrist injury requiring surgery for a torn scapholunate ligament in January.
As the Hornets prepare to face the Wizards, the absence of Miller is a critical blow, potentially impacting their offensive strategy. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how this situation unfolds and whether Miller can quickly recover to return to the court.
The Hornets are now left to navigate this developing situation without one of their key players, emphasizing the importance of depth and resilience in their roster. Stay tuned for updates on Miller’s condition and any further announcements from the team.
