Hornets' Brandon Miller: Out again Thursday
Miller (groin) is listed as out for Thursday's game against Phoenix.
Miller injured his groin during the 119-80 loss to Boston on Friday and subsequently missed Monday's meeting with Cleveland. Now that Miller is confirmed to be sidelined for a second consecutive contest, Sion James is the favorite to remain in the starting lineup.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Ruled out Monday
Miller (groin) is listed as out for Monday's game against Cleveland.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Will be re-evaluated over the weekend
Head coach Charles Lee said Miller (groin) will be re-evaluated over the weekend, and they expect to have more information by Monday, Steve Reed of The Associated Press reports.
Lee downplayed the groin issue after the game, saying he didn't see exactly when the injury occurred but noticed Miller started limping, and he asked for a sub after a couple of plays. He was ruled out after heading back to the locker room, and Tidjane Salaun started the second half for him. If Miller needs to miss additional time, Coby White and Naz Reid would be asked to step it up on offense, and there would be more minutes available for Salaun and Sion James.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Won't return Friday
Miller (groin) won't return to Friday's game against the Celtics, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Miller exited the court halfway through the second quarter. He was initially listed as questionable to return, though he has since been ruled out due to right groin soreness. With Miller off the floor, Sion James should see more minutes the rest of the way.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Heads to locker room
Miller (undisclosed) exited Friday's game against the Celtics, Owen O'Connor of SI.com reports.
It's unclear exactly what is bothering Miller, though it made him leave the floor halfway through the second quarter. He should be considered questionable to return. In the meantime, Sion James should see more minutes.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Tough shooting night
Miller ended Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Nets with 10 points (2-15 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes.
Miller struggled mightily from the field, missing nine of his 10 three-point attempts while committing three turnovers and five fouls. He finished with a team-worst minus-16 rating as Charlotte leaned on Naz Reid and Grayson Allen for offensive production. Despite the disappointing showing, Miller's substantial shot volume should provide opportunities to bounce back.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Struggles to find shooting touch
Miller registered 17 points (7-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt), one rebound and four assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 124-91 loss to Detroit.
Miller led the Hornets in the scoring column, but he needed 18 attempts from the field to do so. He couldn't find the bottom of the net from beyond the arc and is hitting at a clip of 30.6 percent from deep over his last three showings. Charlotte will continue to rely heavily on Miller's scoring production until Kon Knueppel (hamstring) is cleared to return, though Coby White made his season debut Monday and should be able to take on some of the scoring burden once he ramps up to a full workload.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Scores 24 points in loss
Miller ended with 24 points (8-20 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block over 33 minutes in Saturday's 109-104 loss to Philadelphia.
Miller didn't shoot the ball well in Friday's 95-79 loss to the Wizards, but things got better Saturday, with the 23-year-old connecting on 41.7 percent of his attempts from deep. He has had a quality 2026-27 campaign and is now averaging career bests in points (24.4), rebounds (6.1) and steals (1.4) across 34.0 minutes per contest in seven regular-season appearances. Miller is currently playing at an All-Star level, and that could continue even when Kon Knueppel (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) are back on the floor. Of course, this is assuming that he can stay healthy.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Scores team-high 19 points
Miller notched 19 points (7-24 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 37 minutes in Friday's 95-79 loss to the Wizards.
Miller was the only Charlotte player who surpassed the 15-point plateau in this game, but he delivered another woeful shooting performance. The inconsistencies have been an issue with Miller -- he has either stayed below the 20-point mark (three times) or cleared the 30-point mark (also three times) so far this season. Miller should remain one of the go-to options for the Hornets as long as he stays healthy.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Drops 31 points in defeat
Miller amassed 31 points (12-26 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 97-89 loss to Detroit.
After erupting for a season-high 39 points in Monday's win over the Wizards, Miller reached the 30-point threshold for a third consecutive contest Wednesday. The star swingman also grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds en route to his first double-double of the season. Additionally, he tallied multiple steals for the third time in the last four games.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Pops for 39 points
Miller tallied 39 points (15-28 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three steals and two blocks in 36 minutes during Monday's 110-103 win over the Wizards.
Miller has been asked to carry his team with both Coby White (calf) and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) out to begin the season, and he's done exactly that. The Alabama product has scored 30-plus points in back-to-back appearances, resulting in a pair of victories. Miller also become the second-fastest player to reach 500 made threes, doing so in his 170th NBA game.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Scores 34 points with full line
Miller accumulated 34 points (10-29 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 11-12 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block across 36 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 win over the Heat.
While Miller still struggled to get his shot to drop, this was a solid bounce-back performance following Friday's six-point, 2-for-14 shooting stinker. He's been getting a lot of good looks, but his shot just hasn't been falling through the first three games of the season. He's trending in the right direction, though.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Endures disastrous shooting night
Miller managed six points (2-14 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two steals and a block across 23 minutes in Friday's 128-81 loss to the Hawks.
Miller followed his inefficient season opener with an even more difficult shooting performance, and he's connected on just four of his 25 three-point attempts through two games. His aggressive perimeter shooting remains encouraging from a usage standpoint, but the lack of efficiency and limited peripheral production have severely restricted his fantasy output. Miller should have opportunities to rebound offensively, although his early-season struggles are certainly disappointing.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Struggles with shot in win
Miller finished with 18 points (7-21 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a block across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 110-103 win over the Nets.
Miller struggled with his shooting efficiency, particularly from beyond the arc, but his 21 field-goal attempts and team-high 36 minutes highlight his substantial offensive role. The high-volume shooting should support his scoring upside even when his efficiency fluctuates. This wasn't the best season-opening performance for Miller, who signed a five-year, $209 million rookie-scale contract extension Monday, but his role as the Honets' go-to scoring weapon is pretty much set in stone, so managers shouldn't be overly concerned for just one inefficient outing.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Inks extension with Hornets
Miller agreed to a five-year, $209 million rookie-scale contract extension with Charlotte on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Hornets have already elected to exercise a $15.1 million team option for the 2026-27 season, but this deal will keep Miller in Charlotte for years to come. The 23-year-old has averaged 20-plus points in each of his last two seasons and will serve in a key scoring role heading into the upcoming campaign.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Scores 15 points with three stocks
Miller registered 15 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two assists, one steal and two blocks over 25 minutes in Friday's 117-98 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Miller struggled with his shot over Charlotte's final two preseason games, going 8-for-29 from the floor, but he still delivered with the counting stats. Miller's shooting percentage has never been his strong suit, but he has a knack for stuffing the stat sheet and should see a large uptick in usage this season with the departure of LaMelo Ball. He'll make for a solid mid-round target on draft day.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Struggles with shot in preseason loss
Miller scored 16 points (4-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-5FT) while adding five rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes during Wednesday's preseason loss to the Celtics.
With a number of key backcourt players unavailable, the Hornets went with a big starting five that shifted Miller to shooting guard while Royce O'Neale joined Naz Reid and Moussa Diabate in the frontcourt. The alignment didn't seem to suit Miller, although he did tie Tidjane Salaun for the team scoring lead. Miller heads into his fourth NBA season mainly looking to prove he can stay healthy after missing a combined 72 regular-season games over the prior two campaigns.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Scores 18 in preseason win
Miller recorded 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and a block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 preseason win over the Bucks.
Miller made his preseason debut Sunday after missing time with a shin contusion he suffered in practice. The 23-year-old pro matched a game-high with 18 points, albeit with mediocre efficiency. Despite struggling from the floor overall, Miller was highly effective from beyond the arc, connecting on a game-high four three-pointers.
