• Hornets' Brandon Miller: Undergoes season-ending surgery

  01/23/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Hornets announced Friday that Miller underwent surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season. Miller was already deemed out indefinitely due to his wrist injury but will now miss the remainder of the campaign after undergoing surgery. Cody Martin, Nick Smith and Seth Curry are now all candidates to receive increased playing time moving forward. Although Miller was able to bump his scoring average from 17.3 points per contest in his rookie year to 21.0 points per game this season, his efficiency dipped from 44.0 percent shooting from the field and 37.3 percent from three to 40.3 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from three.

• Hornets' Brandon Miller: Out indefinitely with wrist injury

  01/18/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Hornets announced Friday that Miller has suffered a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist and will be out indefinitely. Miller sustained the injury in Wednesday's win over the Jazz, and an MRI confirmed that he was dealing with ligament damage. Though the Hornets aren't offering up a timeline for Miller's return, fantasy managers should prepare for him for his absence to last multiple weeks if not months, and potentially the rest of the season if he requires surgery. For whatever length of time Miller is out, Nick Smith, Cody Martin, Josh Green and Seth Curry could all be beneficiaries of more playing time. Miller is averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.9 three-pointers, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks in 34.2 minutes per game over 27 appearances on the season but is shooting just 40.3 percent from the field.

• Hornets' Brandon Miller: Drills six treys in return

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Miller (ankle) finished Sunday's 115-105 loss to the Cavaliers with 24 points (8-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes. Miller returned to the court Sunday after missing Charlotte's last three games due to a left ankle sprain. He didn't seem to be operating under any restrictions and delivered an impressive scoring performance highlighted by the six triples, which were just two shy of matching a season-high total. Though Miller was efficient Sunday, he's been a major negative in field-goal percentage on the season, as he's converted his 18.4 attempts per game at a 40.6 percent clip.
