Hornets’ Brandon Miller Out vs. Wizards Due to Shoulder Injury

BREAKING: Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller has been ruled out for today’s game against the Washington Wizards due to left shoulder soreness. This urgent update comes after Miller exited early during Saturday’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, leaving fans and players concerned about his health.

In the second quarter of Saturday’s game, with 10:50 remaining, Miller walked off the court visibly in pain, clutching his left arm. He had recorded just 4 points and 1 assist in 9 minutes before the injury forced him to the sidelines. The exact nature of the injury remains unclear, intensifying worries among the Hornets’ fanbase.

Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, previously showcased his talent in the season opener against the Brooklyn Nets, scoring 25 points and dishing out 7 assists. However, his rookie season was plagued with struggles, as he played only 27 games after undergoing surgery for a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist.

The Hornets’ head coach has not provided further details about Miller’s condition, but the team will undoubtedly feel the impact of his absence as they strive for a strong start to the season. Fans and analysts alike are left wondering how this injury will affect Miller’s development and the Hornets’ performance moving forward.

Stay tuned for updates on Miller’s recovery and any potential return timelines. The Hornets are set to face the Wizards today, and this developing situation adds extra pressure on the team to rally in Miller’s absence.
