CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — For at least three quarters, the Charlotte Hornets had their projected starting five on the floor together for the first time this season.
And then, another brutal injury.
Hornets forward Brandon Miller left Monday night’s 121-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in the fourth quarter with a sprained left ankle. He did not return.
Head coach Charles Lee said it’s unclear how long Miller will be out.
Lee said Miller first tweaked his ankle in front of the Hornets bench when he stepped on someone’s foot, and then a short time later came down wrong on it while making a driving layup to cut Philadelphia’s lead to 97-91 with 8:20 left in the game.
