Miller opened the season with a 25-point, seven-assist performance in a win over the Brooklyn Nets. He injured himself in Charlotte’s second game, against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The 22 year old was the second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He has 103 career games to his name including 97 starts. During that time, Miller has averaged 18.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
He played in just 27 games last season due to a right wrist injury.
Hornets Will Lean On Knueppel, Bridges, Sexton
Charlotte has got off to a middling 3-4 start with wins coming against the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards and Utah Jazz. They face the New Orleans Pelicans next on Tuesday.
With Miller out of the mix, it means increased usage for the likes of Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Collin Sexton.
Knueppel had 24 points, six rebounds and five assists in the team’s most recent game against the Jazz. Bridges was the team’s leading scorer with 29 points, four rebounds and six assists. Sexton was the primary playmaker with LaMelo Ball resting, and he finished with 10 points and 12 assists.
Looking beyond the Pelicans, the Hornets will certainly be tested over the next couple of weeks. They have the Heat, Lakers, Bucks (twice), and Thunder all coming up.
Charlotte’s four losses thus far have all come to teams expected to be in the playoff mix.
