As the Philadelphia 76ers attempt to close out their Monday night matchup against the Charlotte Hornets with a win, their opponent suffered a critical setback.
During the fourth quarter, the Hornets saw their star player, Brandon Miller, go down with an ankle injury. After getting checked out by the Charlotte training staff, Miller was diagnosed with an ankle sprain. His night ended after 31 minutes.
Leading up to Monday’s game, the Hornets were fortunate to get a key player back in the mix. The star guard LaMelo Ball has been out with a calf sprain over the last couple of weeks.
