  • Hornets’ Brandon Miller out for season after undergoing surgery to repair ligament in wrist


    The Charlotte Hornets have lost second-leading scorer Brandon Miller for the season after he underwent surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist, the team announced on Thursday.

    The second-year star injured his wrist during last Wednesday’s 117-112 win over the Utah Jazz. He scored 20 points in 33 minutes. Miller was out for Friday’s 125-123 win versus the Chicago Bulls with what was listed as a wrist sprain.

    “It’s one of those bittersweet things where you’re happy for the victory, but unfortunate news on Brandon,” Hornets coach Charles Lee said after Friday’s game.

    Miller, a 2023 first-round pick out of Alabama, finishes his sophomore season averaging 21 points, 3.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. He had missed six games earlier this season with a left ankle sprain.

    Injuries have been a significant obstacle for the Hornets this season, contributing to an 11-29 record that’s the third-worst in the Eastern Conference.

    Leading scorer LaMelo Ball was sidelined for nearly three weeks with a left calf strain. Miles Bridges has been limited to 27 games due to a bone bruise in his right knee. Centers Mark Williams and Nick Richards (who was traded to the Phoenix Suns) also missed significant time. And Grant Williams suffered a torn ACL in late November.

    Seth Curry, Nick Smith Jr. and Josh Okogie (acquired in the Richards trade) have taken Miller’s place in the Hornets’ lineup.



    The Charlotte Hornets have announced that guard Brandon Miller will be out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a ligament in his wrist. Miller suffered the injury during a recent game and opted to undergo surgery to fully repair the damage.

    This news comes as a blow to the Hornets, as Miller has been a key player for the team this season, averaging double-digit points and providing solid defense on the court. His absence will surely be felt as the team looks to make a playoff push.

    We wish Brandon Miller a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the court next season. In the meantime, the Hornets will need to rely on their depth and resilience to fill the void left by Miller’s absence. #GetWellSoonBrandon #CharlotteHornets.

  • Brandon Miller Has Torn Wrist Ligament, Out Indefinitely


    Hornets forward Brandon Miller, who missed Friday’s game vs. Chicago due to what was originally referred to as a right wrist sprain, has been diagnosed with a torn scapholunate ligament after undergoing an MRI, the team announced in a press release.

    The Hornets didn’t provide a recovery timeline for Miller, simply ruling him out indefinitely.

    While each case is different, this injury typically requires surgery and results in a layoff that’s measured in months rather than days or weeks. Kenrich Williams, Khris Middleton, T.J. McConnell, Bradley Beal, and Jaylen Brown are among the players who have gone under the knife to have a torn scapholunate ligament repaired in recent years.

    It’s a disappointing turn of events for the No. 2 overall pick from the 2023 draft, who finished third in Rookie of the Year voting last season and was having a solid sophomore campaign in 2024/25. Through 27 games (all starts), Miller has averaged 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 34.2 minutes per night, with a shooting line of .403/.355/.861.

    The timing is especially unfortunate for the Hornets, who had just recently gotten their top four scorers – Miller, LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges, and Mark Williams – healthy together for the first time all season. Entering Friday, the quartet had starting four consecutive games together alongside Josh Green. The Hornets went 2-2 in those contests, with its starting five posting a +14.5 net rating.

    Nick Smith Jr. started in Miller’s place on Friday and had a good night, with 15 points in 26 minutes in a win over Chicago, so he’ll likely get another opportunity in that role. Seth Curry, who has earned a few starts this season when Miller was unavailable, returned to the rotation for the first time in two weeks on Friday and also figures to play an increased role going forward.



    The Atlanta Hawks announced today that guard Brandon Miller has suffered a torn wrist ligament and will be out indefinitely. The injury occurred during a recent practice session, and Miller will undergo further evaluation to determine the best course of treatment. The team is hopeful for a full recovery for the talented young player, but his absence will undoubtedly be felt on the court. Stay tuned for updates on Miller’s condition and return to play. #GetWellSoonBrandon #AtlantaHawks

  • Hornets’ Miller out indefinitely with ligament tear in wrist


    Jan 17, 2025, 11:03 PM ET

    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.
