Brandon Miller Exits Early With Ankle Injury, Won't Return
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) was removed from Monday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers after injuring his ankle during a layup attempt. He was ruled out by the team and won't return. Miller appeared to roll his ankle while landing on Sixers forward Guerschon Yabusele's foot. The 22-year-old put up 12 points in 31 minutes before being removed and had been Charlotte's main offensive weapon with LaMelo Ball out the past seven games before returning tonight. If Miller is forced to miss time, expect Cody Martin to pick up additional minutes.
Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (shoulder) is considered probable ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Miller dropped 19 points with six rebounds during Wednesday's game, but he picked up a shoulder injury in the process. The fact he's listed as probable means Miller should be good to go, but fantasy managers should check back. The Hornets would be in bad shape if Miller sat out with Miles Bridges (knee) already ruled out. Seth Curry and Cody Martin could be asked to play big minutes if Miller is unable to play.
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) will play on Monday night versus the Timberwolves. The 21-year-old last played in Saturday's matchup with the Boston Celtics, amassing 16 points, six assists, two steals, and one block. However, since that was his first contest back from a four-game absence, fantasy managers were hoping he wouldn't miss another one. Fortunately, that won't happen. As usual, Miller is a must-start, with his presence meaning fewer minutes for Cody Martin.
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. After missing four games, Miller made a strong return on Saturday against the Celtics, contributing 16 points, six assists, four rebounds, two steals, and a block. His 31 minutes of play in that game suggest he is in good health, but his status is certainly worth monitoring since he's listed as questionable. At just 21 years old, fantasy managers are hopeful that he will remain healthy and continue to grow and improve throughout the season.
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) has a chance to return on Friday after suffering a glute strain during their first game of the season. The second-year wing is a big part of the team's future, so the Hornets are always going to err on the cautious side. This is the first time he's received a questionable tag since the injury though, so it looks like he's trending in the right direction. If he suits up, Josh Green will likely head back to the bench.
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (glute) is set to miss at least a week of action. According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Miller will be re-evaluated in one week after sustaining a left glute strain. The 21-year-old was hurt in Wednesday's season opener against Houston. Tre Mann and Seth Curry will have additional fantasy value during Miller's absence, with the former likely moving to the first unit. Mann put up 11.9 points with 4.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 28 starts last year. However, it must be noted that Mann's productive run came when LaMelo Ball was out of the lineup.
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (glute) won't play in Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He logged only 11 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Houston Rockets, finishing with six points. However, the 21-year-old sat out the second half of that contest and is now on the shelf with a gluteal strain. Miller will likely miss more games beyond Friday night. But until he's back, Cody Martin and Tre Mann could benefit. Of course, Miller's absence should also mean more offensive opportunities for LaMelo Ball.
Brandon Miller Limited To 11 Minutes Wednesday Due To Hip Issue
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (hip) played only 11 minutes in Wednesday's season opener against Houston. He left the game shortly before halftime with left hip soreness. Miller shot 2-for-4 in the contest to register six points and had one rebound and one assist with one steal. With Josh Green (Achilles) already unavailable, Seth Curry and Tre Mann played a big part in the rotation on Wednesday. The latter finished as the team's second-highest scorer, with 24 points, behind LaMelo Ball. Mann, who was 4-for-8 with the three-ball versus the Rockets, could replace Miller in the starting unit if he isn't healthy enough to play Friday night against Atlanta.
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (wrist) has been cleared to play on Friday against Orlando. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Miller is set to make a 17th consecutive appearance despite dealing with a right wrist sprain. He's averaged over 34 minutes per game since the All-Star break, even hitting the 40-minute mark twice in the past three games. The 21-year-old rookie should be heavily involved again in Friday's action, although it's an uncomfortable matchup against a good defensive team that plays with a slow pace. Miller has recorded 19.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in three previous clashes with the Magic this season.
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (wrist) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The 21-year-old is battling through a right wrist sprain. However, the injury does not appear to be serious. Miller played in Wednesday's match-up versus the Portland Trail Blazers despite being listed as questionable with the same ailment. Miller has been playing heavy minutes for the Hornets while also putting up quality scoring numbers. He has averaged over 17 points per game during his rookie season, which recently includes a 31-point performance against the Cavaliers on March 27.
