Hornets guard Brandon Miller out indefinitely after surgery to address left shoulder instability

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller has undergone surgery to address left shoulder instability

MAY 6 • Associated Press

Undergoes shoulder surgery The Hornets announced Wednesday that Miller underwent successful surgery to address left shoulder instability, per Owen O'Connor of SI.com.

Impact Miller missed nearly a month of action early in the 2025-26 season due to a left shoulder subluxation. Although the third-year forward is considered out indefinitely, he's expected to make a full recovery and has several months to recover ahead of training camp. Over 65 regular-season contests, Miller averaged 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 30.3 minutes per game.

Productive in third NBA season Miller closed with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.

Impact Miller played a key role in the Hornets' 127-126 overtime win over the Heat on Tuesday, though he was unable to replicate that success in Friday's elimination game. The 2023 first-rounder has established himself as a franchise cornerstone for the Hornets alongside LaMelo Ball and 2025-26 ROTY candidate Kon Knueppel. Miller ended the 2025-26 regular season averaging 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.1 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks over 30.3 minutes per game. He has two years left on his rookie contract (including a $21.2 million qualifying offer for 2027-28), though Miller figures to earn a rookie max extension from the Hornets in the offseason.

Surpasses 20-point mark again Miller accumulated 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 118-100 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Even though LaMelo Ball's creativity and Kon Knueppel's impressive rookie numbers have grabbed headlines, it's worth noting that Miller has emerged as a reliable No. 2 option on offense for the Hornets while also showing growth in his efficiency. Even though Miller's numbers from this season are quite close to the ones he posted in 2024-25, he's posting career-best numbers in his shooting figures, such as field goal percentage, three-point shooting and free-throw efficiency. Miller should remain a reliable scoring threat for the Hornets in the Play-In Tournament.
