Brandon Miller Fantasy Stats

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (hip) is out for Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Miller left Friday's 119-80 loss to Boston in the second quarter with what was initially called right groin soreness, and he has since been diagnosed with a hip strain. The 23-year-old is averaging 20.6 points in 10 games, though he has shot just 35.6% from the field. Tidjane Salaun and Sion James should have more wing minutes available while Miller is sidelined, with Salaun carrying some short-term fantasy intrigue if he moves into the starting lineup.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (groin) left Friday's 119-80 loss to the Boston Celtics in the second quarter and did not return. Miller finished with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal on 3-for-10 shooting in 14 minutes before exiting. The 23-year-old is averaging 20.6 points per game this season, though he is shooting just 35.9 percent from the field. With Kon Knueppel (hamstring) and Dennis Schroder (thigh) also sidelined, Sion James would be in line for more minutes if Miller cannot play Monday against Cleveland.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (shoulder) has signed a five-year, $209 million rookie-scale extension, first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal begins in 2027-28 and comes in at $1 million above Amen Thompson's extension with Houston. Miller led Charlotte with 20.2 points per game last season while adding 4.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 3.1 three-pointers across 65 appearances. With LaMelo Ball now in Minnesota, Miller has a clear path to a larger offensive role. He returned for preseason action following May shoulder surgery, and increased usage could push the 23-year-old toward career-best fantasy production if he stays healthy.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller scored 18 points in Sunday's 105-90 preseason win over the Milwaukee Bucks, adding four assists, three rebounds, and one block in 22 minutes. Miller shot 6-for-15 from the field and 4-for-9 from three after missing Charlotte's opener with a shin contusion. He averaged a team-high 20.2 points last season, and LaMelo Ball's departure leaves more room for Miller to take on a larger offensive role. With the regular-season opener set for Oct. 21 at Brooklyn, getting through his first exhibition without an apparent setback was an encouraging sign.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (shin) missed Tuesday's preseason opener against the Brooklyn Nets after suffering a shin contusion in practice. The team considers him day-to-day, so there is no indication yet that the injury is serious. The 23-year-old underwent left shoulder surgery in May but entered camp cleared for full contact. Miller led Charlotte with 20.2 points per game last season, and LaMelo Ball's departure leaves him with an even bigger offensive role. With Kon Knueppel (hamstring) also out for the preseason, Charlotte has little reason to rush Miller back.

Charlotte Hornets small forward Brandon Miller (shoulder) is expected to be a full participant in training camp, according to head coach Jeff Peterson. After undergoing offseason surgery in May of last season, Miller is nearing 100% and expects to be ready for the season opener. In his third season, the former second-overall pick averaged 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists, a decline across all three major statistics compared with his strong 2024-25 second season. With LaMelo Ball now with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Miller is expected to take on a larger on-ball role alongside Kon Knueppel and Coby White. Ranked 52nd in RotoBaller's Points Rankings, Miller is fully healthy heading into a contract season and is a premier breakout candidate in 2026.

According to Rod Boone, Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (shoulder) is nearing a return to action after having surgery. Miller underwent left shoulder surgery in May. Miller recently told Boone in an interview that his shoulder is more mobile after undergoing surgery. The Hornets haven't given a timetable on Miller's return to the court yet. He's still waiting to get full clearance to return to basketball activities. There is still over a month before training camp, so Miller still has plenty of time to get ready. The expectation is that Miller will be ready to play by the beginning of the season.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller and the team have discussed a potential rookie-scale extension, with president of basketball operations Jeff Peterson saying the Hornets want him around "for a very long time," via Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. The former No. 2 pick looks central to the Hornets' reset after the franchise traded LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges this offseason, though Peterson has avoided putting the face-of-the-franchise label on any one player. Miller averaged 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting 38.3 percent from three across 65 games last season. His usage could climb with Coby White handling more point-guard work, but the shoulder recovery keeps some risk attached. If healthy, Miller's scoring and three-point volume should keep trending up.

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (shoulder) is out indefinitely after he underwent shoulder surgery to address a left shoulder issue. The Hornets aren't in the playoffs, so Miller will have plenty of time to recover before next season. He injured his shoulder early this season, but managed to play through the issue. He finished with an average of 20.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 4.9 rebounds in 30.3 minutes per game in 65 contests. He wore a wrap on his shoulder throughout most of this season, but should no longer need that after having successful surgery on Wednesday.

Miller has heated up recently, averaging 24.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last eight games, while shooting 45.3 percent from deep. Thursday's matchup will be challenging for Miller, as Dallas is among the NBA's top teams at limiting three-point shooting and boasts a top-10 defensive rating.
