Brandon Miller Out for Hornets vs. Wizards with Shoulder Injury

UPDATE: Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller has been officially ruled out for today’s game against the Washington Wizards due to left shoulder soreness. This urgent development comes after Miller exited early in Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, leaving fans and analysts concerned about his health.

Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, experienced pain and discomfort, walking straight to the locker room with 10:50 remaining in the second quarter. He contributed 4 points and 1 assist in 9 minutes of play before the injury forced his early exit.

Eyewitness accounts describe Miller visibly in pain, grabbing his left arm and appearing distressed. At this time, the exact nature of the injury remains unclear. Following the game, Miller did not address reporters, heightening concerns about his condition.

Just last week, Miller showcased his scoring ability with a remarkable 25 points and 7 assists in the Hornets’ season opener against the Brooklyn Nets. Last season was challenging for the young forward, as he played only 27 games after undergoing surgery for a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist in January.

Fans and analysts will be closely watching for any updates on Miller’s condition, as the Hornets are in need of their key player. The team will now look to adjust their strategies for today’s matchup against the Wizards without one of their top talents.

Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
