UPDATE: Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller has been officially ruled OUT for today’s game against the Washington Wizards due to left shoulder soreness. This decision comes after Miller exited early during Saturday’s match against the Philadelphia 76ers, leaving fans and the team anxious about his condition.
Just 10:50 remaining in the second quarter of Saturday’s loss, Miller walked off the court in visible pain, clutching his left arm. He had contributed 4 points and an assist in just 9 minutes of play before being sidelined. The extent of his injury is still unclear, but his absence is a significant blow to the Hornets as they navigate their season.
Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft behind Victor Wembanyama, had shown promise in the season opener, scoring 25 points and providing 7 assists against the Brooklyn Nets. However, his rookie campaign last year was marred by injury, as he only played 27 games after undergoing surgery for a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist in January.
As the Hornets prepare to face the Wizards, fans are left wondering how this injury will impact the team’s performance moving forward. With Miller’s potential sidelined, the Hornets face a challenging road ahead.
Stay tuned for further updates on Miller’s condition and the Hornets’ lineup changes as they seek to bounce back in today’s game. The latest details will be crucial for fans and analysts alike as the team aims for a strong performance despite this setback.
