Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist. The Hornets confirmed the surgery on Thursday, stating that the team will provide updates on his progress.
Miller suffered the injury during the team’s win at Utah last week and subsequently underwent an MRI to diagnose the severity of the issue. The 2023 draft’s No. 2 overall pick, Miller has averaged 21 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.1 steals over 27 games in his second NBA season.
As the Hornets’ second-leading scorer, Miller has made 3.9 three-pointers per game, ranking fifth in the league. He was named to the NBA’s All-Rookie first team last season and earned Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honors three times, finishing third in Rookie of the Year voting.
