CHICAGO (AP) — Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller, the team's second-leading scorer, will be sidelined indefinitely because of a torn ligament in his right wrist.
Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft, was held out of Charlotte's 125-123 victory over Chicago on Friday night with what the team initially called a “wrist sprain.” The Hornets announced after the game that Miller, who's averaging 21 points, has a torn wrist ligament.
Miller underwent an MRI on his wrist after being injured in the Hornets' win at Utah on Wednesday night. The team said additional updates on his status would be provided when needed.
