Miller missed the past two games with the shoulder issue, but it appears there's a chance he'll be returning to the floor Friday evening.

Miller posted 18 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes during the Hornets' 129-101 loss to the Knicks on Wednesday.

Miller led the Hornets in scoring during Wednesday's blowout loss, with 12 of his points coming from a season-high four triples. He continues to have his minutes monitored following a 13-game absence due to a left shoulder injury, but his playing time should ramp up as the season progresses. Next up for Miller and the Hornets is Friday's home game against the Bulls.

Miller (rest) isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Miller sat out of Sunday's matchup with Atlanta after making his season debut Saturday. However, he'll be back in the fold for Wednesday's game. He was aggressive on the offensive end but showed signs of rust Saturday, going 8-for-18 from the field and 2-for-10 beyond the arc to finish with 21 points in 26 minutes.

Miller (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hawks.

Miller and LaMelo Ball will rest Sunday after playing Saturday, so Sion James, Collin Sexton and Tre Mann are candidates for increased roles. Miller logged 21 points (8-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block over 26 minutes during the Hornets' 131-116 loss to the Clippers on Saturday, which marked his return from a 13-game absence.

Miller logged 21 points (8-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block over 26 minutes during the Hornets' 131-116 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.

Miller was given the green light Saturday to return from a 13-game absence due to left shoulder subluxation. Despite his struggles from beyond the arc and his minutes restriction, the third-year pro still managed to finish the game as the Hornets' second-leading scorer behind rookie Kon Knueppel (26). The Hornets play a second leg of their back-to-back set Sunday against the Hawks, and it remains to be seen whether Miller will play in that contest.

Head coach Charles Lee relayed to reporters that Miller will operate under a minutes restriction during Saturday's game against the Clippers, Owen O'Connor of SI.com reports.

Miller has been cleared to return Saturday from a 13-game absence due to a partial dislocation in his left shoulder that he suffered against the 76ers on Oct. 25. Even though he'll have his minutes capped, Miller's return means there will be less playing time to go around for Pat Connaughton and Liam McNeeley.

Miller (shoulder) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

The stage is set for Miller to make his first appearance since Oct. 25 in Philadelphia. Given his lengthy layoff with a shoulder subluxation, the Hornets could keep an eye on the star forward's minutes in his return Saturday. Miller's presence is likely to cut into the playing time of Liam McNeeley and Pat Connaughton most noticeably.

Charlotte recalled Miller from the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday.

Miller was cleared for on-court activity on Monday morning and immediately joined the Swarm for practice. It will be interesting to hear how his shoulder responded to the increased workload, and if he fared well, it's possible he could be back in the rotation for Charlotte sooner rather than later.

The Hornets assigned Miller (shoulder) to the G League's Greensboro Swarm on Monday to take part in practice.

After he exited an Oct. 25 loss to the 76ers due to a left shoulder subluxation, the Hornets announced Nov. 3 that Miller would be re-evaluated in two weeks. The third-year wing apparently progressed in his recovery as the Hornets had hoped and will now take a meaningful step forward by resuming on-court work in the G League. Miller will likely remain with Greensboro for the next few days while the Hornets play road games Monday in Toronto and Wednesday in Indiana, but if shoulder responds well to workouts, he could be a candidate to return to action when the Hornets host the Clippers on Saturday in the front end of a back-to-back set.

The Hornets announced Monday that Miller (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in about two weeks.

Miller will continue his rehab program while recovering from a left shoulder subluxation. In the interim, LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Miles Bridges should dominate the usage for Charlotte. Rookie first-rounder Kon Knueppel is also a significant beneficiary, given that he's started each of the team's last five games amid Miller's absence.

Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Miller is dealing with a left shoulder subluxation but is seeking additional medical advice before moving forward. He'll miss a fifth straight game Sunday and can be considered doubtful for future contests until the team provides an official return timetable. Kon Knueppel, Collin Sexton and Sion James continue to see increased roles in Miller's absence, and their roles should be even more pronounced with LaMelo Baller (ankle) doubtful for the second half of Charlotte's back-to-back set.

Miller (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

No surprise here, considering Miller is dealing with a fairly significant injury. The star forward appears doubtful for Sunday's tilt against the Jazz. Miles Bridges could see massive usage if LaMelo Ball (ankle) joins Miller on the sidelines, while Collin Sexton is a candidate to handle additional playmaking duties.

The Hornets exercised Miller's (shoulder) fourth-year team option for 2026-27 on Friday, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

This is an expected move, given Miller's importance to the Charlotte franchise going forward. The star forward is battling a left shoulder subluxation, which leaves his status in doubt for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic.

Miller will miss a third straight game due to a shoulder injury. He suffered the injury during the loss to the 76ers on Saturday. The team will likely turn to Kon Knueppel, Tre Mann and Tidjane Salaun in the meantime.

Miller will be re-evaluated when the team returns from their road trip, so we should get another update by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. Kon Knueppel should continue to start in Miller's absence, so he's worth a look if you need some points and triples.

Miller (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Miller exited Saturday's game after just nine minutes due to left shoulder soreness and, as expected, will sit out the second leg of the Hornets' back-to-back. In his absence, rookie Kon Knueppel is likely to rejoin Collin Sexton in the starting lineup on the perimeter. Miller's next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Heat.

Miller (shoulder) registered four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist in nine minutes during Saturday's 125-121 loss to the 76ers.

Miller left Charlotte's loss in the second quarter against the Sixers due to left shoulder soreness. It's a bummer to see the 22-year-old hit with an injury in just the second outing of the 2025-26 campaign after he missed all but 27 games last season. As it stands, we should have an update on Miller's status for Sunday's road tilt with the Washington Wizards.

Miller won't return to Saturday's game against the 76ers due to left shoulder soreness.

Miller exited to the locker room in the second quarter and won't return. He'll finish with four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist across nine minutes.

Miller led Charlotte's season-opening win with a game-high 25 points despite a pedestrian showing from beyond the arc. The 2023 first-round pick appeared in 27 games during the 2024-25 regular season before undergoing wrist surgery, averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals while knocking down 3.9 three-pointers in 34.2 minutes per contest. Now healthy, the Alabama product appears poised to deliver a breakout campaign.

Miller (wrist) isn't listed on Charlotte's injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Miller will return to action in the Hornets' regular-season opener after sitting out the preseason finale due to right wrist soreness. The third-year swingman appeared in just 27 regular-season games in 2024-25 before undergoing right wrist surgery in January. During that span, he averaged 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals across 34.2 minutes per contest.

Miller is out for Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks due to right wrist soreness.

It seems like the Hornets are simply giving Miller the night off. The injury designation will leave his status at least somewhat up in the air for Wednesday's season opener against the Nets, though.

Miller was having a tough time in the preseason prior to Wednesday, but he was able to shake off some of the rust for a stellar performance against Memphis. Miller was well on his way to a breakout campaign in 2024-25 before a wrist injury cut it short, but now that he's fully healthy, he's been in hot demand during fantasy drafts.

Miller posted 14 points (3-11 FG, 6-8 FT, 2-6 3Pt), three assists, a rebound and a steal across 23 minutes during Thursday's 122-116 loss to the Thunder.

Miller enters the season at 100 percent after an abbreviated campaign in 2024-25 that lasted only 27 games. The surgery on his wrist was successful, and the teams hopes he slides into the team's No. 2 scoring option this season. The Alabama product is a well-rounded off-guard who can also play the wing and provide solid contribution in multiple statistical categories.

Miller produced eight points (3-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one assist and two steals across 16 minutes of Sunday's 135-114 preseason loss to the Thunder.

Miller underwent season-ending surgery in January to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist, but he's had no limitations at training camp. There was some obvious rust Sunday, and the Hornets gave all their key players light workloads to bring them along slowly. For what it's worth, Miller has been looking strong at training camp and there's a lot of talk about him possibly breaking out in his third NBA season.

Hornets president of basketball operations Jeff Peterson said Monday that Miller (wrist) will be a full go for training camp, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Peterson said Monday that Miller has done "a great job with his rehab and can't wait to get back out there." The 22-year-old underwent season-ending surgery in January to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist after averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals across 27 games. Looking ahead, Miller will aim to stay healthy and continue his rise toward stardom in his third NBA season.

The Hornets announced Friday that Miller underwent surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist and will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

Miller was already deemed out indefinitely due to his wrist injury but will now miss the remainder of the campaign after undergoing surgery. Cody Martin, Nick Smith and Seth Curry are now all candidates to receive increased playing time moving forward. Although Miller was able to bump his scoring average from 17.3 points per contest in his rookie year to 21.0 points per game this season, his efficiency dipped from 44.0 percent shooting from the field and 37.3 percent from three to 40.3 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from three.

Charlotte announced Friday that Miller has suffered a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist that will sideline him indefinitely.

Miller picked up the injury on Jan. 15 and an MRI revealed the tear. This is a brutal blow for Charlotte and for his fantasy managers, as the forward was having a terrific season with averages of 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 34.2 minutes across 27 appearances. Until more clarity is known regarding a timetable, guys like Nick Smith, Seth Curry and Cody Martin could step into larger roles.

Miller (wrist) won't play in Friday's game versus the Bulls.

Miller has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to a sprained right wrist. Nick Smith, Seth Curry and Cody Martin are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Miller's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Dallas.

Miller finished Sunday's 115-105 loss to the Cavaliers with 24 points (8-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes.

Miller returned to the court Sunday after missing Charlotte's last three games due to an ankle injury, and returned in a big way by leading all players in threes made to go along with a team-high-tying point total. Miller has connected on six or more threes in six contests this season, doing so for the first time since Dec. 3. Miller has surpassed the 20-point mark in eight of his last 10 outings, though he has missed six of the last eight games for Charlotte while dealing with injuries.

Miller (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Miller will return to game action after missing the Hornets' last three outings due to an ankle injury. The second-year swingman has missed six of the club's last seven contests, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if he operates under a minutes restriction against Cleveland.

Miller has missed the past six games for Charlotte, but this is his second straight questionable tag which suggests that he's now day-to-day. In addition to Miller, LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) is also questionable. In Miller's absence, Miles Bridges has seen a massive spike in usage.

Miller (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Miller will miss his sixth game out of Charlotte's last seven contests due to an ankle injury, and his next opportunity to return arrives Sunday against Cleveland. With LaMelo Ball (wrist) also out of action Friday, the Hornets' offense figures to run through Miles Bridges, and Vasilije Micic would appear to be in line for a spot start.

Miller (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Miller has missed five of the Hornets' last six games due to an ankle injury. This has proven costly for Charlotte, which has lost all five of those games while on an eight-game losing streak.

Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Chicago.

Miller will miss his fifth game out of the Hornets' last six outings due to the left ankle sprain, and his next chance to suit up will come Friday against Detroit. With the second-year pro joining LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Cody Martin (knee) on the sideline, Vasilije Micic and Seth Curry should continue receiving increased roles.

Miller (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Miller appears to be in line to miss a second straight game (and fifth out of the Hornets' last six) due to a left ankle sprain. With Cody Martin (knee) and LaMelo Ball (ankle/wrist) also considered doubtful for Monday's game, the Hornets will look to Vasilije Micic, Seth Curry and Isaiah Wong to take on a larger role Monday should Ball, Martin and Miller be ruled out.

Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Miller missed three straight games due to a left ankle sprain before returning and playing 36 minutes Thursday against Washington.

Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Thunder.

Miller returned to action Thursday after missing Charlotte's previous three contests due to a left ankle sprain and could miss Saturday's contest with the same injury. If Miller is unable to suit up against the Thunder, Cody Martin will likely receive increased playing time yet again.

Miller notched 18 points (6-21 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 loss to the Wizards.

Miller finished just one assist away from a double-double in his return from a three-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. The lack of efficiency can be an issue with Miller, as he finished with more field goal attempts than points scored, but fantasy managers can live with that lack of efficiency as long as he continues to rack up stats left and right every time he steps on the hardwood. When healthy, Miller is firmly entrenched as Charlotte's second-best scoring option behind LaMelo Ball.

Miller (ankle) will play in Thursday's game versus the Wizards, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Miller has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Charlotte's previous three outings due to a left ankle sprain. The 22-year-old forward should reclaim his starting spot from Cody Martin.

Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Wizards.

Miller will miss his first game since Nov. 1 due to a right ankle sprain. With the 22-year-old sidelined, Cody Martin and Seth Curry are candidates for increased roles. Miller's next chance to feature will come in the second leg of the back-to-back set Friday against the 76ers.

Miller (ankle) went through shootaround ahead of Thursday's game versus the Wizards, according to the Hornets' official Instagram.

Miller (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Miller exited Monday's game against the 76ers during the fourth quarter with a sprained right ankle, and the same injury has him in doubt to play Thursday. The injury bug has affected the Hornets constantly, and losing Miller would be huge for Charlotte. He's averaging 21.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game this season.

Miller exited Monday's game against the 76ers during the fourth quarter with an apparent leg injury, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Miller limped to the locker room with 8:20 remaining in the matchup after an awkward landing on a fastbreak layup. If the second-year pro is unable to return in the final quarter, he'll finish with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block across 31 minutes.

Miller accumulated 26 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 113-109 victory over Indiana.

Miller continues to shoulder a heavy workload, especially on the offensive end without the help of LaMelo Ball (calf) and Miles Bridges (knee). He led Charlotte in scoring and put together a solid shooting line, and he's now poured in 25 or more points in five straight appearances.

Miller totaled 25 points (7-21 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's 116-102 loss to the Cavaliers.

Miller had a rough shooting performance, but given the Hornets were missing several key pieces on offense, the second-year star had the green light to carry the offense and took as many shots as he saw fit. Despite the lack of efficiency, fantasy managers should be happy with Miller's overall stat line, and he'll continue to enjoy an uptick in usage as long as the Hornets remain depleted. Miller has scored at least 25 points in four straight contests and has reached the 20-point mark in 10 games in a row.

Miller chipped in 26 points (9-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Thursday's 125-101 loss to New York.

Miller is doing everything he can to carry the Hornets on offense amid the absence of LaMelo Ball (calf), but it hasn't been enough. Despite the team's struggles, Miller has been a solid fantasy option in most formats, and he's the undisputed go-to player for Charlotte with Ball sidelined. The second-year guard has scored at least 20 points in nine games in a row, averaging 28.0 points per game and shooting 44.3 percent from the floor in that span.

Miller ended with 34 points (12-25 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 110-104 loss to the 76ers.

Miller was on fire from three in Tuesday's defeat, leading all players in scoring and threes made while finishing as the lone player on either team to surpass the 30-point mark. Miller has been strong from three this season, connecting on at least seven threes in four outings. He has now surpassed the 30-point mark in three contests, all of which have taken place over his last six games.

Miller closed with 32 points (10-30 FG, 7-19 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 loss to Atlanta.

Miller wasn't afraid to let it fly as he fired a season-high 30 attempts from the field and 19 attempts from three to lead the Hornets in scoring. He's now reached the 30-point threshold in three of his last seven appearances and has made an impact on the defensive end, recording at least one steal and one block in three straight games.

Miller posted 20 points (6-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 95-84 loss to the Magic.

LaMelo Ball has been carrying the Hornets on offense in the last few games, and while Miller might get overlooked, it's worth noting he's also posted excellent numbers. Miller and Ball combined for 64 of the team's 84 points Monday. This was Miller's sixth game with at least 20 points, a mark he's achieved in each of his last four appearances.

Miller amassed 32 points (11-23 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block over 43 minutes during Saturday's 125-119 loss to the Bucks.

The second-year wing delivered his first double-double of the season while topping 30 points for the second straight game. Miller has drained at least three three-pointers in nine of 11 November games, averaging 21.0 points, 5.3 boards, 4.0 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.6 steals, and his usage doesn't figure to shrink any time soon, as LaMelo Ball is the only other healthy and reliable offensive option the Hornets have right now.

Miller ended Thursday's 123-121 overtime victory over the Pistons with 38 points (15-26 FG, 8-12 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals over 42 minutes.

Miller came through several times when the Hornets needed him the most, and he was virtually unstoppable in overtime, one hitting tough shot after another en route to posting the best scoring output of his career. Miller has scored at least 20 points four times in 2024-25, and all four outings have come in the current month.

Miller racked up 29 points (11-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Nets.

The performance tied his season high in scoring. Miller missed four games early in the season with a hip issue and has had trouble getting his shot to fall consistently since returning, so Tuesday's effort was encouraging. The second overall pick in the 2023 Draft has still drained multiple threes in eight of his nine appearances in November, averaging 17.9 points, 4.4 boards, 4.1 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.6 steals a game on the month.

Miller recorded 15 points (6-20 FG, 3-12 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 128-114 loss to the Cavaliers.

Miller has been in a brutal shooting slump in his last three games. In that stretch, he's hitting 25.5 percent from the field and 20.5 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 12.0 points, 4.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. To his credit, he continues to fire away and the Hornets seem content to keep giving him the green light.

Miller ended with 22 points (7-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 overtime loss to the 76ers.

Miller once again stepped up offensively and on the boards in Sunday's overtime defeat, finishing second on the team in scoring and as one of two Hornets with at least 20 points and three threes. He also ended three boards shy of a double-double to go along with a team-high-tying pair of steals. Miller set a new season high mark in rebounds, now having tallied at least 20 points and six rebounds in two straight contests.

Miller accumulated 29 points (10-17 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Friday's 103-83 victory over Indiana.

LaMelo Ball turned heads with his 31-point performance Friday, but Miller was excellent in his own right. The second-year forward picked his spots on offense and was extremely deadly from three-point range, with his seven threes tying a career-high mark he established as a rookie. Miller has scored at least 19 points in back-to-back games, and he'll aim to extend that streak when facing the 76ers on Sunday.

Miller (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Pacers.

As expected, Miller has been upgraded from probable to available and will play through right shoulder soreness. Over three appearances since returning to action following a glute injury, Miller has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 27.0 minutes per game.

Miller is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to right shoulder soreness.

Miller missed four games earlier this season with a strained left glute but has appeared to pick up a new injury. However, the rookie forward is still expected to suit up against Indiana.

Miller ended with 19 points (6-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 victory over the Pistons.

Miller capped off a solid performance, converting a put-back layup as time expired to give the Hornets a one-point victory. After a hip injury cost Miller four of the first five games of the season, he has been able to cobble together three encouraging performances. His numbers remain a little underwhelming but the hope is that as he spends more time on the court with LaMelo Ball, the two will be able to lead the Hornets into the future.

Miller (glute) is available to play in Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Miller will play through a left glute strain Monday, though he will likely remain a mainstay on the injury report for a bit due to the injury. The second-year pro played through the injury in Saturday's loss to Boston, during which he tallied 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 31 minutes.

Miller (glute) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Following a four-game absence, Miller returned to action Saturday against the Celtics and posted 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two steals and a block in 31 minutes. The left glute strain will likely make Miller a regular on the injury report for a bit. However, the second-year forward played well in his return and didn't have any restrictions, a good sign for his availability moving forward.

Miller (glute) scored 16 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added six assists, four rebounds, two steals and one block across 31 minutes in Saturday's 113-103 loss to the Celtics.

In his return from a four-game absence due to the left glute strain he suffered in the Hornets' Oct. 23 season opener, Miller wasn't operating with many restrictions, as he narrowly edged out Miles Bridges for third on the team in playing time behind LaMelo Ball (37 minutes) and Grant Williams (34 minutes). Miller inflicted damage on fantasy managers' percentages in his second appearance of the season, but his 26.8 percent usage rate and strong contributions across the stat sheet were encouraging takeaways. In his second season, Miller could be primed to usurp Bridges as the Hornets' No. 2 option behind Ball.

Miller (glute) is available for Saturday's game versus the Celtics.

Miller has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday after missing Charlotte's last four contests with a left glute strain. With Seth Curry (knee) out, Miller should reclaim his starting spot against Boston.

Miller (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hornets.

Miller is in danger of missing his fifth consecutive contest Saturday while dealing with a left glute strain. With Seth Curry (knee) also questionable, Tre Mann and Cody Martin could be in store for increased playing time.

Miller (glue) is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Celtics.

Miller will miss his fourth straight contest Friday after being downgraded from questionable to out with a left glue strain. Seth Curry should draw another start in his absence. Miller's next chance to suit up is Saturday's rematch with Boston.

Miller (glute) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Celtics.

Miller is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest Friday while dealing with a left glute strain. If the second-year forward is ruled out again, Seth Curry and Cody Martin should continue to receive increased playing time.

The Hornets exercised their third-year team option on Miller on Wednesday.

This was a mere formality for the Hornets, as Miller is poised to be a key player for the franchise for many years to come. Miller is currently sidelined by a hip injury and is set to be re-evaluated at the beginning of November.

Miller (glute), who has been ruled out of Friday's matchup against the Hawks, will be reevaluated in one week, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Miller sustained a left glute strain in Wednesday's regular-season opener and will miss time in the beginning of the season. In the 21-year-old's absence, Tre Mann will likely see an uptick in playing time along with Cody Martin.

Miller is out for Friday's game versus the Hawks due to a left glute strain.

Miller left Wednesday's regular-season opener early and will now be forced to miss Friday's contest. Tre Mann, Cody Martin, Seth Curry and Tidjane Salaun (finger) are all candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Miller's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Miami.

Miller has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's contest due to left hip soreness.

Miller finished with six points (2-4 FG), one rebound and one assist in just under 11 minutes prior to exiting the contest shortly before halftime. Miller was ruled out shortly thereafter, although there is no clear incident that led to the injury.

Miller produced 20 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3PT, 3-3 FT), one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to the Pacers.

Miller continues to shine on the offensive end, leading all scorers despite the loss. Even with the return of LaMelo Ball, it appears as though Miller is not going to be shy when it comes to getting shots up. Although his overall game remains a little unproven, Miller is firming as a solid mid-round target in standard league drafts.

Miller recorded 26 points (10-20 FG, 6-11 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 111-105 preseason loss to the Knicks.

Miller shot an impressive 37.3 percent from three as a rookie and is showing this preseason that he can improve upon this number in 2024-25. With LaMelo Ball back in action to run the offense, Miller could establish himself as one of the best young scorers in the NBA.

Miller logged 22 points (8-13 FG, 608 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 119-94 win over the Grizzlies.

Miller's shot betrayed him in his second preseason game, but he more than made up for it with a masterful team-leading performance Thursday night. Were it not for Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, Miller would have been a shoo-in for Rookie of the Year recognition. The Alabama product took advantage of the opportunity given by LaMelo Ball's absence to take over backcourt duties. We won't see much of Ball in the preseason, so we'll have to wait a bit to see how Ball's return might adjust Miller's role He'll most likely work as the off-guard while Ball re-assumes the job as floor general.

Miller tallied seven points (2-13 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 25 minutes in Tuesday's 111-108 preseason win over the Heat.

The No. 2 pick of the 2023 NBA Draft was on the floor for 25 minutes Tuesday, the most out of the Hornets' starting five. He shot 37.3 percent from three on 6.7 3PA/G in his rookie season, but he struggled from deep during Tuesday's win, and across his two preseason outings he's gone 4-for-17 from beyond the arc. Miller will look to improve on his rookie campaign, during which he averaged 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.9 steals across 32.2 minutes per game.

Miller finished Sunday's preseason opener against the Knicks with 12 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a block in 21 minutes.

Entering his second NBA season, expectations are high for Miller, who averaged 19.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals over the final 42 games of his rookie campaign. During that sample, Miller shot over 45 percent from the field and hit 2.9 threes per game at a 37.2 percent clip. While the return of a healthy LaMelo Ball could trim into Miller's usage this season, Ball's presence as a playmaker and setup man figures to benefit the No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft.

Hornets coach Steve Clifford said Miller (wrist) will be ready for training camp, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

This isn't a surprise, as the Hornets were presumably being extra cautious with all of their players towards the end of the regular season. Miller had a standout rookie campaign, compiling averages of 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.5 three-pointers across 74 appearances while shooting 44.0 percent from the field.

Miller (wrist) will not play Sunday versus Cleveland, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Miller's stellar rookie campaign comes to an end, yielding 17.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 74 appearances. Miller ascended rapidly down the stretch, averaging 20.0 points on 44.7/37.4/83.1 percent shooting across 33 contests since the beginning of February.

Miller has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right wrist injury.

Miller has been one of the few bright spots in another lost year at Charlotte, and there's a chance the rookie forward is held out of the season finale since the team has no reason to risk him in a meaningless game. Miller is averaging 18.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game since the All-Star break.

Miller racked up 21 points (6-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-104 loss to the Mavericks.

Miller continues to thrive as the top offensive option for the shorthanded Hornets. Over the past month, Miller has led the Hornets in nine-category fantasy value, posting averages of 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.9 three-pointers.

Miller finished with 32 points (11-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 124-115 victory over the Magic.

Miller went 11-of-13 from the field en route to a team-high 32 points, continuing his impressive rookie campaign. He has scored at least 20 points in six of the past nine games, putting up top-80 value during that time. Although he doesn't have the upside of Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, Miller has certainly endeared himself to fans in Charlotte and looks to be a key piece for them moving forward.

Miller (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Magic.

As expected, Miller, Vasilije Micic (shoulder), Grant Williams (ankle) and Miles Bridges (wrist) have all been upgraded from probable to available. Miller has appeared in 16 straight games and averaged 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals-plus-block in 33.6 minutes during that stretch.

Miller is probable for Friday's game against the Magic due to a right wrist sprain.

Miller was questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to his wrist injury, but he suited up and tallied 21 points, two rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block in 30 minutes during the narrow loss. He'll likely be able to play again Friday and should have more help around him, as Miles Bridges (wrist) and Vasilije Micic (shoulder) are also probable.

Miller recorded 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 89-86 loss to the Trail Blazers.

The second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft was the only Hornet to score more than 11 points on the night, and the rest of the team shot just 39.7 percent from the floor. Miller has scored in double digits in 20 of 21 games since the All-Star break, and he's averaged 18.0 points, 4.8 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals over that stretch as he puts together a strong finish to his rookie campaign.

Miller (wrist) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Miller has been further upgraded from probable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a right wrist sprain. The rookie forward is averaging 17.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 33.1 minutes across his last 10 outings.

Miller (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Miller and Grant Williams (ankle) have been upgraded from questionable to probable, while Miles Bridges (wrist) has been downgraded to doubtful. Nick Richards (foot) is also out, so the Hornets' frontcourt is expected to be shorthanded, opening up more playing time for Aleksej Pokusevski, Davis Bertans, Leaky Black and JT Thor.

Miller is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a right ankle sprain.

Miller is in danger of missing his first game since March 1 on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. If the rookie forward is ruled out, Davis Bertans and Bryce McGowens are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Miller ended with 22 points (8-19 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block across 40 minutes during Sunday's 130-118 loss to the Clippers.

Miller's performances in his first year in the league might have been overshadowed by the likes of Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, but that doesn't change the fact that the first-year forward has injected some much-needed life into the Hornets' anemic offense. Miller has now scored at least 20 points in four of his last six games and is aiming to end his first year in The Association on a high note.

Miller ended Wednesday's 118-111 win over the Cavaliers with 31 points (11-19 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 35 minutes.

Miller led all scorers for the second straight night Wednesday, in a game that saw no other Hornets player score 18 points or more. Miller has now reached 20-plus points in three of his last four games and has averaged 22.3 points on 44.9 percent shooting (including 44.4 percent from three on 9.0 3PA/G), 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 34.8 minutes per game over that span.

Miller supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 115-92 loss to the Cavaliers.

The rookie wing led all scorers on the night, but no other Hornet scored more than 13 points. Miller is showing signs of fatigue toward the end of his first NBA campaign, but he's still produced 20-plus points five times in 11 March games and has averaged 17.7 points, 5.4 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.5 threes and 0.8 steals on the month despite shooting just 41.8 percent from the floor and 70.4 percent from the free-throw line.

Miller amassed 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Saturday's 132-91 loss to the Hawks.

Miller has settled into an established offensive role for the Hornets, so by now, it's not a surprise to see him score in double digits while attempting 10 or more shots every time he steps on the court. The rookie out of Alabama has shown flashes of his potential, and while his game remains rough around the edges, the Hornets are going to give him plenty of minutes especially now that they're eliminated from the playoffs. Miller is averaging 17.1 points per game since the beginning of March.

Miller accumulated 21 points (7-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 112-92 loss to Orlando.

It was the first time since March 9 against the Nets that Miller scored 20-plus points in a game. He struggled overall from the field, but he managed to hit four threes for the 15th time this season. He's averaging 17.6 points per game in March, and he and Miles Bridges are the only Hornets players to provide some semblance of scoring prowess as Charlotte ranks last in the NBA in offensive rating over its last 15 games.

Miller was ejected from Saturday's game versus the 76ers with 2:51 remaining in the second quarter. He finished with six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes.

Miller flared his elbow out and connected with Tyrese Maxey's face, so he was quickly assessed a Flagrant Two foul. With Miller's night done early, the Hornets could rely more on Grant Williams, Aleksej Pokusevski and Davis Bertans.

Miller recorded 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 114-97 loss to Detroit.

Miller wasn't overly efficient on a night when Charlotte shot just 38.6 percent from the field as a team, but he chipped in across the board and facilitated without committing a turnover. Monday marked his first game of the season logging more than three assists in a turnover-free outing, alluding to the rookie's upside as a secondary playmaker.

Miller supplied 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 101-89 loss to the Magic.

Miller was coming off the first double-double of his career in his previous game, and while he was unable to repeat such feat in this loss to Orlando, he continued to score the ball at a very efficient rate. Miller has surpassed the 15-point mark in seven of his last 10 appearances, averaging 17.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game in that span. Miller has been the lone bright spot in what has been another lost season for the Hornets.

Miller finished with 26 points (11-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block over 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-106 loss to Toronto.

It was the first career double-double for the second overall pick in the 2023 Draft. Miller has scored 20-plus points in seven of 14 games since the beginning of February, averaging 20.9 points, 4.9 boards, 2.9 threes, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch and emerging as one of the centerpieces of the Hornets' offense.

Miller (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

As expected, Miller has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up after missing Charlotte's previous contest due to a low-back injury. Over his last 15 appearances, the rookie has averaged 21.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.1 minutes per game.

Miller (back) is probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Miller was initially probable for Friday's game versus the 76ers before the Hornets decided to ultimately hold him out. Despite the probable tag, fantasy managers will want to double check to make sure he gets the green light to suit up.

Miller (back) won't play in Friday's game versus the 76ers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Miller has been downgraded from questionable to out for Friday's game versus the 76ers due to a lower back injury. However, the rookie forward's injury isn't expected to sideline him long-term. Miller's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Toronto.

Miller (back) is now listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the 76ers.

Miller's late addition to the injury report due to a low back injury and being subsequently downgraded to questionable is a bad sign of his availability Friday. If the rookie forward is ruled out, Bryce McGowens will likely receive increased playing time.

Miller is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the 76ers due to a low back injury.

Despite being a late addition to the injury report with a low back issue, Miller is still expected to suit up against Philadelphia. The rookie forward shot 37.4 percent on 7.6 three-point attempts per contest across his 13 appearances in February.

Miller totaled a team-high 21 points (8-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 40 minutes during Thursday's 111-99 loss to Milwaukee.

The rookie forward continues to impress. Miller has scored in double digits in 16 straight games, averaging 20.6 points, 4.3 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals over that stretch on a depleted Hornets roster. That surge has come while LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been sidelined, but even though the fourth-year guard appears to be closing in on his return, that doesn't mean Miller's role is guaranteed to shrink once Ball is running the offense again.

Miller had 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-85 loss to the Bucks.

Miller has been struggling a bit from the field in recent weeks, though that was somewhat to be expected since he's a rookie who's enduring a huge workload on offense in a rebuilding team. Miller is averaging 16.8 points but shooting just 39.5 percent from the field over his last five contests.

Miller had 16 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists and four steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 victory over Utah.

The rookie forward tied his season high in steals while setting a new season best in assists. Miller has caught fire over that last month, scoring in double digits in 12 straight games and averaging 22.2 points, 4.3 boards, 3.0 threes, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks as he begins to live up to his billing as the second overall pick in the 2023 Draft.

Miller had 26 points (8-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-99 win over the Hawks.

Miller needed a few weeks to adjust to the intensity of the NBA, but there's no question the second overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft is going through his most productive stretch of the campaign. He has scored in double digits in 11 outings in a row, a span in which he's averaging 22.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 34.8 minutes per contest.

Miller produced 16 points (6-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 120-84 loss to the Bucks.

Miler tied for the team lead with 16 points, but he needed 18 shots to accumulate that total and went just 1-for-6 from three-point range. It's certainly a positive for the rookie's fantasy managers that he's increasingly becoming a central part of Charlotte's offense, though Miller is likely to have semi-frequent poor shooting performances given his 43.9 percent field-goal rate on the season. Still, he's worked his way up to being nearly a must-roster player in fantasy with his recent play -- coming into Friday, Miller was averaging 23.3 points on 49.3 percent shooting along with 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 3.2 triples and 1.3 steals over his previous 12 contests.

Miller provided 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 loss to Toronto.

Miller is going through his best stretch of the season and has emerged as one of Charlotte's most reliable offensive weapons, especially with LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined and the likes of Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier no longer with the team. The rookie out of Alabama has reached the 20-point mark in six games in a row, averaging 27.7 points and shooting 49.2 percent from the field in that span.

Miller recorded 33 points (13-25 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 124-118 loss to the Lakers.

The second overall pick in the 2023 Draft topped 30 points for the second straight game and drained five three-pointers for the third straight contest. Miller has topped 20 points in nine of the last 11 games, averaging 23.6 points, 4.5 boards, 3.3 threes, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals over that stretch while shooting 40.9 percent from long distance. The 21-year-old forward's usage figures to remain sky-high until a Hornets roster that's currently missing LaMelo Ball (ankle), Gordon Hayward (calf) and Mark Williams (back) gets healthier.

Miller registered 35 points (10-25 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Sunday's 115-99 loss to Indiana.

The rookie set a new career scoring high to lead a top-heavy Hornets roster -- two of Miller's teammates delivered 19-plus points, but the rest of the squad combined for a total of 23. Miller broke out in January and shows no signs of slowing down, scoring more than 20 points in eight of the last 10 games and averaging 22.7 points, 4.6 boards, 3.1 threes, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 40.3 percent from beyond the arc.

Miller notched 28 points (11-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 126-106 loss to the Thunder.

Miller continues to pour in points, notching his 13th 20-point game of the season. His defensive contributions are a cherry on top, although his block rate grades in the 74th percentile among all wings this season. Miller's ability to score from anywhere on the court makes his future extremely bright.

Miller supplied 21 points (8-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 117-110 loss to the Bulls.

The second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft continues to catch fire. Miller has topped 20 points in six of the last eight games, averaging 20.5 points, 4.5 boards, 2.8 assists and 2.6 threes over that stretch. The eventual return of Gordon Heyward (calf) could cut into the rookie's usage, but Miller may also have established himself as one of the top options in the Hornets' offense by then.

Miller logged 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 113-92 loss to New York.

Miller scored at least 20 points for the fifth time in his past seven outings, matching his career-high with 29 points. The rookie has flashed his offensive upside in recent times, establishing himself as a must-roster fantasy asset. While this performance did come without LaMelo Ball (ankle) in the lineup, the Hornets would be wise to continue rolling with Miller as a primary offensive option, given the draft stock they have invested in him.

Miller provided 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 loss to Detroit.

The 2023 second overall pick is beginning to find his rhythm in the NBA. Miller has scored at least 23 points in four straight games since missing a couple of contests in mid-January due to a bruised back, averaging 24.3 points, 6.5 boards, 3.5 threes, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 57.4 percent from the floor and 45.2 percent (14-for-31) from beyond the arc. The 21-year-old's surge can't simply be dismissed as the product of a favorable schedule, either -- one of those performances came against a Timberwolves team that ranks first in the league in points per game allowed, while another came against the eighth-ranked Sixers.

Miller closed with 27 points (11-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 128-125 win over the Timberwolves.

Miller notched his third consecutive game with 20-plus points, bringing his season total to nine such performances. His three-point stroke has leveled out at 38.2 percent shooting on 5.5 attempts per game, although it's been extremely volatile on a night-to-night basis. Regardless, the rookie is firmly on the rise, averaging 24.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 14.7 shots and 61.4 percent shooting across his last three games.

Miller ended with 23 points (8-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Saturday's 97-89 loss to the 76ers.

Miller recorded back-to-back games with at least 20 points for the first time in his career, and the rookie forward continues to settle in as a regular contributor for a struggling Hornets team. He also left behind a subpar four-game stretch between Jan. 5 and Jan. 12, where he averaged just 7.3 points per game while shooting a dreadful 25.6 percent from the field.

Miller totaled 24 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 124-120 victory over the Spurs.

Miller was one rebound shy of registering his first career double-double. He missed the Hornets' last two games with a back bruise he sustained Jan. 12, but he came back in style with his first 20-point outing since Dec. 29. Miller is averaging 8.8 points per game in January and has had a volatile start to the new year.

Miller (back) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Miller will return to action after missing back-to-back contests due to a back issue. It's unclear if he'll have any restrictions following the multi-game absence, but when he plays at least 25 minutes (27 times), Miller has averaged 15.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks per game.

Miller (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus San Antonio.

Miller (back) will not play Sunday against Miami, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports

Miller's lower back contusion will cause him to miss his fifth game of the season and first since Jan. 2. He'll have two full days to rest until Charlotte next takes the court Wednesday against New Orleans. Bryce McGowens and Nick Smith will likely absorb the majority of his role, as well as Cody Martin (groin), who has been cleared to play following a multi-game absence.

Miller (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Miami.

Miller left Friday's game against the Spurs with a lower back contusion, and it appears that he'll miss at least one game. The timing is far from ideal for Charlotte, as P.J. Washington (ankle) is doubtful, Cody Martin (groin) is questionable and Gordon Hayward (calf) remains out. With how shorthanded the Hornets are, there could be a lot of opportunities for guys like Nick Smith, Bryce McGowens and JT Thor.

Miller left Friday's game against the Spurs with a lower back contusion and is not expected to return.

The Hornets can't seem to catch a break on the injury front. Assuming Miller's night is done, he'll finish with one point (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in nine minutes. JT Thor is likely to soak up some additional minutes for the remainder of Friday's game.

Miller notched 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Kings.

Miller has scored 15 or fewer points in his last four games, and though his scoring figures have decreased a bit compared to recent weeks, he was able to show a good shooting touch from beyond the arc. Miller is averaging just 10.8 points per game while shooting a meager 29.4 percent from field in that stretch.

Miller (hip) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Miller was a late scratch for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to a left hip contusion, but he should be back in action for Friday's matchup. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 17.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 30.7 minutes per game.

Miller won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Kings due to a left hip contusion.

After not appearing on Charlotte's injury report all day, Miller was a scratch from Tuesday's contest due to a hip injury. With Gordon Hayward (calf) out, Bryce McGowens, Cody Martin and JT Thor are candidates to receive extended minutes. Miller's next chance to suit up is Friday's game against the Bulls.

Miller ended Monday's 111-93 loss to the Nuggets with 15 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes.

Miller has now recorded at least 15 shots in 12 of his 28 appearances this season. Although that can partially be attributed to injury woes for Charlotte, it's nonetheless notable that Miller is comfortable firing away and trusted to by coach Steve Clifford. In games with such volume, Miller is delivering 18.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 41.8/41.0/88.5 percent shooting.

Miller amassed 20 points (7-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 133-119 loss to Phoenix.

Miller scored at least 20 points for the sixth time this season, continuing his strong rookie season. Although he is outside the top 150 for the season, Miller has solid averages of 14.9 points per game to go with 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.1 three-pointers. He doesn't offer much on the defensive side of the court, limiting his overall fantasy upside. With that said, he should be rostered in all formats, especially with the Hornets continuing to battle multiple injuries.

Miller (ankle) is available to play in Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Miller returning from a one-game absence will give the Hornets a huge boost, as they are very shorthanded these days. Gordon Hayward (calf) is going to miss at least a couple of weeks, so Miller is expected to take on an even larger role in the short term.

Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.

Miller missed Charlotte's last contest due to a sprained right ankle and is at risk of missing another game. Considering Thursday's tilt is the opening leg of a back-to-back set, the Hornets could opt to play it safe with the second overall pick. If he does end up sitting, Gordon Hayward, Bryce McGowens and Cody Martin are the likely candidates to pick up Millers' vacated minutes.

Miller (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Miller left Saturday's game against Denver early with this ankle issue and was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, so hopefully he's day-to-day. For now, he should be considered questionable to return for Thursday's game against the Lakers. With Miller out, the Hornets will need guys like Gordon Hayward, Bryce McGowens and Cody Martin to step up.

Miller (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Clippers.

Miller was forced to exit Saturday's loss to Denver after suffering a right ankle sprain following 11 minutes of action. He suffered a left ankle sprain Nov.12 against the Knicks and dealt with the injury throughout the month, but he only missed two isolated contests. Miller's current injury is unrelated to his prior designations, but his status for Tuesday's game remains unclear.

Miller will not return to Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to a right ankle injury. He finished with four points, two assists and one rebound in 11 minutes.

Miller suffered the injury during the first quarter and went back to the locker room. The Hornets initially said he was available to return, but they quickly changed their stance a few moments later and ruled him for the rest of the evening. The Hornets are already very shorthanded, so we could see guys like Caleb Martin and Bryce McGowens absorb more minutes off the bench.

Miller accumulated 21 points (9-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 144-113 loss to Indiana.

Miller attempted his second-most field goals of his rookie campaign en route to his third-highest scoring output during Wednesday's loss. The 21-year-old forward has scored double-digit points in each of his last 12 appearances and is shooting 42.5 percent on 6.1 three-point attempts per contest over that span.

Miller contributed 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Heat.

Miller's scoring isn't always flashy or efficient, but the rookie providing a sizable offensive impact on a nightly basis is an awesome sign for his trajectory. He's settling into rhythm from beyond the arc as well, connecting on 50.9 percent of 5.9 threes per game across his past nine contests.

Miller finished Saturday's 123-117 loss to the Timberwolves with 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 36 minutes.

Miller missed Thursday's game versus the Nets with a minor ankle issue, but he appeared to be moving around well Saturday.

Miller (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Miller missed Thursday's one-point win over the Nets due to an ankle injury but has a chance to return Saturday. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined, Miller would likely be a focal point of Charlotte's offense if he's cleared to suit up.

Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets.

Miller was questionable for Thursday's matchup due to his left ankle injury, and he'll be unavailable for the second time this season.

Miller is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Nets due to a left ankle injury.

Miller suffered his injury against the Knicks despite playing 36 minutes and could miss just his second game of the year Thursday. If the rookie forward is ruled out, Bryce McGowens JT Thor and Nick Smith are candidates to receive extended playing time.

Miller will start Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

LaMelo Ball is expected to miss extended time with an ankle injury, so Terry Rozier will slide over to point guard with Miller joining the starting five. Miller fared well in a larger role Sunday against the Magic, scoring 20 points with five rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers.

Miller produced 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 130-117 loss to the Magic.

Miller started the second half of Sunday's game, as LaMelo Ball left for good after 15 minutes with an ankle injury. Miller reached the 20-point mark for the third time this season, and he's been trending up with averages of 18.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.8 three-pointers over his last four games. He could be looking at a larger share of the offense if Ball ends up missing more time.

Miller won't start Monday's game against the Magic, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Miller started eight straight appearances but will revert back to a bench role with Terry Rozier (groin) cleared to suit up following a nine-game absence. Miller should still garner a sizable reserve role, as he averaged 14.4 points and 5.2 rebounds across five bench appearances to start the campaign.

Miller delivered 29 points (10-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's 122-108 loss to the Knicks.

Miller missed the previous game with a left ankle sprain but looked healthy enough to deliver a career-high mark in scoring. Miller started the season on the bench but has already secured a starting role, and while it remains to be seen whether he'll maintain that spot once Terry Rozier (groin) returns, he's doing enough to show he deserves more minutes in a struggling Hornets team. Miller is averaging 12.6 points per game in November and has scored in double digits in five contests in a row.

Miller (ankle) is available for Friday's game versus the Bucks.

Miller has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing Charlotte's previous game with a left ankle sprain. With Gordon Hayward (hamstring) and Miles Bridges (suspension) also available, it is worth monitoring how the Hornets' rotation plays out between the forwards. However, Miller and Hayward will still start Friday's contest, per Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer.

MIller (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Bucks.

Miller is in danger of missing his second straight game Friday due to a left ankle sprain. While it doesn't appear that the rookie forward has suffered a long-term injury, the Hornets could play it cautiously on the first leg of a back-to-back. Theo Maledon would likely draw another start if Miller is ruled out.

Miller (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game against the Heat.

Miller will miss the first contest of his rookie year Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with an ankle injury. With Charlotte dealing with an extensive injury list, Nick Smith and Bryce McGowens are candidates to receive increased minutes. Miller's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Miller (ankle) is regarded as questionable to play Tuesday against Miami.

Miller was listed as probable in a team injury report Monday, but his status, along with the status of Gordon Hayward (hamstring), was downgraded to questionable Tuesday. Bryce McGowens could be busy for the injury-riddled Hornets if Miller can't play.

Miller (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Miller left Sunday's loss to the Knicks in the first half after spraining his ankle, but coach Steve Clifford said the rookie would be day-to-day. The youngster is apparently a quick healer and will likely be back in action Tuesday, which is a good sign for the shorthanded Hornets. With Terry Rozier (groin) still sidelined, Miller figures to draw another start if he's cleared to suit up. Miller has started four straight games with Rozier unavailable, averaging 10.8 points in 27.0 minutes during that stretch.

Coach Steve Clifford said Sunday that Miller (ankle) is day-to-day and hopes the rookie will be back in action Tuesday against Miami, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Miller was on fire Sunday, scoring 11 points in 10 minutes, before spraining his ankle, but he appears to have avoided a long-term issue. Theo Maledon started the second half in Miller's stead and would presumably see an uptick in usage if the rookie is sidelined moving forward.

Miller won't return to Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a left ankle sprain.

Miller was on fire before suffering the injury, scoring 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in 10 minutes. Charlotte is already down a handful of wings due to various injuries, so Bryce McGowns, Theo Maledon and JT Thor are candidates for increased playing time during the second half of Sunday's contest.

Miller is starting Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Miller will draw his first career start since Terry Rozier (groin) and Cody Martin (knee) have been ruled out. Miller has scored in double figures in each of his first five NBA appearances and is averaging 14.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per game.

Miller contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 win over Indiana.

Miller's box score production wasn't overly notable, but he finished with a team-best plus-17 differential while on the court. Despite ranking 11th nationwide in three-point attempts during his one-and-done season at Alabama, the rookie hasn't showcased any volume shooting from beyond the arc yet. Nonetheless, his trajectory is pointing firmly upward.

Miller finished Monday's 133-121 loss to Brooklyn with 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes.

Miller trailed only Terry Rozier in scoring and shot attempts Monday. Miller's immediate contributions as a scorer and rebounder are sustainable, although he'll obviously experience peaks and valleys throughout his rookie campaign.

Miller ended Wednesday's 116-110 victory over the Hawks with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes.

Miller scored efficiently, highlighted by connecting on three triples. After 1-of-13 shooting from beyond the arc across four preseason contests, Miller stepping in and hitting shots at NBA-speed is a promising start. His ability to impact the game as a rebounder is a fantasy swing factor moving forward.

Miller finished Sunday's preseason game against the Thunder with eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes.

Through three exhibition contests, Miller has shown flashes of what made him the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, but he's yet to reach double-digits in scoring. While the Alabama product is undoubtedly a key piece for the Hornets' future, he'll likely go through his fair share of ups and downs as a rookie. Fantasy-wise, Miller should provide decent value as a scorer, rebounder and three-point shooter.

Miller scored nine points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt) while tacking on six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 98-92 loss to the Wizards.

Miller nearly jumped over Daniel Gafford on a highlight-worthy dunk, but the rookie was called for an offensive foul. In addition to flashing his athleticism, Miller looks poised coming off screens into his jumper. His multi-level scoring seems to be acclimating well.

Miller is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason contest against the Wizards.

Miller logged eight points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 preseason loss to Miami, and with Gordon Hayward (foot) out, the second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft will make his first start in the preseason. He is expected to eventually take over the starting role at small forward as the season progresses.

Miller logged eight points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 preseason loss to Miami.

Miller came off the bench with the Hornets starting Gordon Hayward and P.J. Washington at forward. The No. 2 overall pick had a rough Summer League, and he didn't fare much better Tuesday apart from a couple bright moments.

Miller has been shut down for the remainder of the Summer League due to a coach's decision.

Miller put together some encouraging performances during Summer League play and averaged 15.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game over five appearances. However, the Hornets won't take any chances with his health, and he'll now shift his focus toward preparing for training camp.

Miller tallied 26 points (8-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 97-93 Summer League loss to the Trail Blazers.

Miller had by far his best Summer League outing to date Tuesday after struggling in his first three appearances. However, his foul trouble is worrying, as he picked up five against Portland. Regardless, Miller flashed the offensive and defensive potential that caused Charlotte to draft him second overall.

Miller recorded 10 points (4-17 FG, 0-7 3PT, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, and a steal over 29 minutes in Sunday's 93-75 loss to the Lakers during Summer League.

Miller has had an inconsistent Summer League thus far and really struggled to get any shots to go in Charlotte's blowout loss against the Lakers. The Alabama product was able to impact the game in other areas, however, posting team-highs in rebounds and assists while not committing a turnover. His shooting numbers should not be a source of concern at this point, but his efficiency and ability to avoid turnovers are areas he will look to continue improving upon as Summer League continues.

Miller recorded six points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3PT, 1-1 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and a steal over 28 minutes in Wednesday's 98-90 loss to the Warriors during Summer League.

After pouring in 18 points in his NBA debut, Miller struggled to find an impact in the scoring column, being held scoreless until the 5:30 mark in the fourth quarter and finishing with just four shot attempts. Instead, the No. 2 pick took on a facilitating role, dishing out a game-high seven assists. However, Miller committed eight personal fouls and turned the ball over four times on his way to a negative 22 plus-minus.

Miller finished Monday's Summer League game against the Spurs with 18 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT)_ five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 34 minutes.

Miller turned in a decent final line, but he also committed six turnovers in the 98-77 loss. The second overall pick of the draft will continue to have plenty of eyes on him as Summer League unfolds, but overall, this was a decent first showing for the 20-year-old.
