Hornets’ Miller out indefinitely with ligament tear in wrist
The Charlotte Hornets said Friday that second-year forward Brandon Miller will be out indefinitely due to a torn ligament in his right wrist.
Miller was hurt during the team’s 117-112 win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.
An MRI revealed a tear to the scapholunate ligament in his wrist.
“That definitely hurts,” Hornets guard LaMelo Ball said of the injury. “I was in the same kind of situation, my rookie year, or sophomore, whatever. I know how he feel, we just always have his back, watch out for him. He with the whole squad. That’ll help a little. I remember my situation, being with, around the guys, that’s yeah. I know it’s tough times though.”
Miller, the No. 2 pick in last year’s NBA draft, is averaging a career-high 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists this season but has been plagued by injuries, appearing in just 27 games.
The Charlotte Hornets announced today that forward Jalen McDaniels will be out indefinitely after suffering a ligament tear in his wrist during a recent game. McDaniels, who has been a key contributor off the bench for the Hornets this season, will undergo further evaluation to determine the best course of treatment.
The loss of McDaniels is a significant blow to the Hornets, who are currently fighting for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The 24-year-old has been averaging 7.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game this season, providing valuable scoring and energy off the bench.
Head coach James Borrego expressed his disappointment over the injury, stating, “Jalen has been a crucial part of our rotation this season and his energy and effort will be sorely missed. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to having him back on the court as soon as possible.”
In McDaniels’ absence, the Hornets will likely turn to other players to step up and fill the void. This injury comes at a critical time for the team, as they look to secure a playoff spot and make a run in the postseason.
Fans of the Hornets are undoubtedly wishing McDaniels a speedy recovery and hoping to see him back on the court soon. In the meantime, the team will need to rally together and continue to push forward in his absence.
