The Charlotte Hornets will be without their second-leading scorer, Brandon Miller, for an indefinite period due to a right wrist injury, which he sustained during a recent game against the Utah Jazz. The team's official statement confirmed that Miller has a torn scapholunate ligament, which could keep him sidelined for anywhere from six weeks to several months, depending on the severity of the tear.

Miller, who was drafted second overall in the 2023 NBA Draft, has been a key player for the Hornets this season, averaging 21 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game. His injury adds to a growing list of challenges for the Hornets, who are currently struggling with a 10-28 record, partly due to various injuries affecting their roster.
