Hornets guard makes key admission heading into 2025-26 season

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller's sophomore season didn't go as planned. 

The former lottery pick suffered a wrist injury in January that limited him to just 27 games in 2024-25. To make matters worse, fellow guard LaMelo Ball's inability to stay healthy continued to plague Charlotte's chances of success.

With the 2025-26 campaign just months away, Miller will want to get things back on track, especially in terms of building chemistry with Ball. 

In an article published Tuesday, Miller told Langston Wertz Jr. of The Charlotte Observer why he and Ball must try to avoid the injury report moving forward.

“It’s always the main thing, you know, just keeping our bodies together. We know it’s a long season," Miller said. "Having us two on the floor can make a big difference [in having] a winning team." 

Miller has the potential to become an All-Star. Even in his limited playing time last season, he averaged 21 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists while shooting 40.3% from the field and 35.5% from deep.
