Brandon Miller News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Officially ruled out Miller (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game against the Heat.

Impact Miller will miss the first contest of his rookie year Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out with an ankle injury. With Charlotte dealing with an extensive injury list, Nick Smith and Bryce McGowens are candidates to receive increased minutes. Miller's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Milwaukee.

Iffy for Tuesday Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable to play Tuesday against Miami.

Impact Miller had been listed as probable on the Hornets' initial injury report for Tuesday's game, but his status -- along with Gordon Hayward's (hamstring) -- has since been downgraded. Meanwhile, Terry Rozier (groin), Cody Martin (knee), James Bouknight (knee) and Frank Ntilikina (leg) will remain out Tuesday, while Miles Bridges is serving the final game of his suspension. Young players such as Bryce McGowens, Nick Smith and Amari Bailey could be asked to take on major minutes on the wing if neither Miller nor Hayward is available.

Will likely play Tuesday Miller (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.

Impact Miller left Sunday's loss to the Knicks in the first half after spraining his ankle, but coach Steve Clifford said the rookie would be day-to-day. The youngster is apparently a quick healer and will likely be back in action Tuesday, which is a good sign for the shorthanded Hornets. With Terry Rozier (groin) still sidelined, Miller figures to draw another start if he's cleared to suit up. Miller has started four straight games with Rozier unavailable, averaging 10.8 points in 27.0 minutes during that stretch.

Considered day-to-day Coach Steve Clifford said Sunday that Miller (ankle) is day-to-day and hopes the rookie will be back in action Tuesday against Miami, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Miller was on fire Sunday, scoring 11 points in 10 minutes, before spraining his ankle, but he appears to have avoided a long-term issue. Theo Maledon started the second half in Miller's stead and would presumably see an uptick in usage if the rookie is sidelined moving forward.

Suffers ankle sprain Sunday Miller won't return to Sunday's game against the Knicks due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Miller was on fire before suffering the injury, scoring 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt) in 10 minutes. Charlotte is already down a handful of wings due to various injuries, so Bryce McGowens, Theo Maledon and JT Thor are candidates for increased playing time during the second half of Sunday's contest.

Starting Sunday Miller is starting Sunday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Miller will draw his first career start since Terry Rozier (groin) and Cody Martin (knee) have been ruled out. Miller has scored in double figures in each of his first five NBA appearances and is averaging 14.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per game.

Helps fuel victory Miller contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 win over Indiana.

Impact Miller's box score production wasn't overly notable, but he finished with a team-best plus-17 differential while on the court. Despite ranking 11th nationwide in three-point attempts during his one-and-done season at Alabama, the rookie hasn't showcased any volume shooting from beyond the arc yet. Nonetheless, his trajectory is pointing firmly upward.

Makes high-level impact Miller finished Monday's 133-121 loss to Brooklyn with 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes.

Impact Miller trailed only Terry Rozier in scoring and shot attempts Monday. Miller's immediate contributions as a scorer and rebounder are sustainable, although he'll obviously experience peaks and valleys throughout his rookie campaign.

How did Brandon Miller do in his Hornets debut? 'He turned the game around for us.' Miller, the No. 2 overall NBA Draft pick, scored eight of his 13 points in the fourth quarter to help Charlotte to a season-opening win.

Solid in debut Miller ended Wednesday's 116-110 victory over the Hawks with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes.

Impact Miller scored efficiently, highlighted by connecting on three triples. After struggling with 1-of-13 shooting from beyond the arc across four preseason contests, Miller stepping in and hitting shots at NBA speed is a promising start. His ability to impact the game as a rebounder could be a fantasy swing factor.
